The greedy jackals gather.............


In Adelaide Now… online 21 October 2010:

Senator Xenophon said he also had asked powerful independent MP and head of an inquiry into the social impact of River Murray water allocation cuts, Tony Windsor, to look at additional sources of water for the basin, including the Wivenhoe and so-called Clarence River Scheme in NSW.

"I had a meeting on Tuesday with Tony Windsor to discuss the scheme and I know the idea that more water could be put into the Murray Darling Basin is back on the radar in Canberra," Senator Xenophon said.

I am a Clarence Valley resident. This blog was created to protest numerous proposals to divert water from the Clarence River and/or its tributaries. None of these proposals take into consideration the significant negative environmental, economic, social and cultural impacts water diversion would have on communities in the Clarence catchment area. All are attempts by vested interests to sidestep responsibility and not squarely face the evident trend for a gradual drying of the southern half of the Australian continent.
