Any time an Australian creature moves from an EPBC Act listing of ‘endangered species’ to ‘critically endangered species’ the Prime Minister should have to address the Parliament and explain what the Government is doing to prevent extinction. #auspol

@TheAusInstitute Also if Australian governments had required water to be sold at market value to the irrigation industry instead of giving it to them it would’ve raised approximately 250 billion over the last 50 years in New South Wales alone, more than covering the State’s debt

[Sherlock @FullCostRecover]

@watershedallyAU There is plenty of money in the state budget but yet again bureaucrats are electing to subsidise irrigation by giving water for free only recovering some of the costs instead of selling the water at market prices.
Thus giving cost of production subsidies to O/S irrigators

Some remarkable rainfall scenarios possible for parts of central Australia over the next week. Many will be watching for favourable timing and alignment of a shortwave/front that draws some of the action further south east.

Getting a different result from the same water management bureaucracy is the first sign of madness
Over extraction and over allocation in every river upstream and endangered environment in the Macquarie Marshes can only mean that the river downstream is also endangered

The clean-up of over 100,000 dead bony bream at Lake Menindee begun, but #waterquality questions remain.
'Thousands of fish dead in new lakes kill event' (C.D., Broken Hill Times 6/2/26 p3)

[Sherlock @FullCostRecover]

When the upstream environment is classed as an endangered ecological environment (Macquarie Marshes) & all upstream rivers over allocated to irrigation.
To expect a different result from the same management is the first sign of madness

Groundhog Day
We don't doubt the effects of extreme heat & lack of rainfall on the enviro, but it's not rocket science that there needs to be more water in the river & less extraction.
Bureaucracy & vested interests rule the day over scientific fact.

@TheAusInstitute Don’t forget the billions of dollars 💵 of irrigation water being gifted by the state Govt’s allowing below the true cost of production to be subsidised by all other Australians.
Plus a cost price squeeze for all dry land producers and their communities and breaking FTAs

[Sherlock @FullCostRecover]

@BarbaraPocock @BarbaraPocock you should have a look at the AWB board, staff & advisors that were in Iraq. See where they are now and which politicians promoted them into these new positions. Then follow the money 💰

Congratulations to Port Augusta AUSTRALIA
for recording the most Southern 50C (122F) in world climatic history.

It's one of the several world records being set in this unbelievable heat wave,
By far, the harshest the Southern Hemisphere has ever seen

More records on Saturday !

@TonyHWindsor One of the side benefits of the rise of the Independents is that people understand how preferences work now.

I just hope that they don't try to make it "easier" by allowing optional preferential voting like NSW.

Not filling in all the numbers hands your preferences away.
