Senate RRAT committee leaves door open for water raiders

The Senate Rural Regional Affairs and Transport standing committee inquiring into additional water supplies for south-east Queensland firmly sat on the fence in its report, with regard to options to divert water from the Clarence River and/or its tributaries.

However, it was also careful to leave the door open for Messrs. Howard and Turnbull to continue their push to rob the Clarence River of vital freshwater flows.

Well done, Senator Heffernan - you did your master's bidding in the face of clear evidence that such water diversion is both unsustainable and uneconomic.
