@nswirrigators @tanya_plibersek @DCCEEW Begs to question @tanya_plibersek Murrumbidgee most vulnerable and least likely to adapt to buy backs, yet Murrumbidgee Private Diverters targeted in the first phase?

[NSW Irrigators' Council @nswirrigators]

More Government buybacks will add to costs and water scarcity, leaving these and other vulnerable communities in an even more precarious position #ausgov @tanya_plibersek

[Tom Chesson @tomchesson01]

Here's the paper - well worth a read and highlights just how savage an 'ecosystem engineer' carp are. Our rivers are being destroyed as billions of dollars get pumped in a one trick pony of a policy of simply buying water back.

The @AlboMP Gov's actions don't match its words. It says it’s taking action on the cost of living crisis while actively implementing a policy that will make food more expensive by starting water buybacks from farmers as early as April. How does that make sense?

"Family run organisations are important for the community because we genuinely care about the produce."
More water buybacks will make it hard for family farms to survive and will hurt regional communities.

Right now, big decisions are being made in Canberra that would see farms - even entire farming industries - closed down for good. We need your help to #KeepFarmersFarming. Visit https://t.co/A660T95BGI to show your support. 💚🙏

[National Farmers' Federation @NationalFarmers]

A lot can happen in a week as our new president @farmer_dj explains in today’s @dailytelegraph.

“As you can tell we’re not frightened to be direct and call it as we see it.”

[NSW Irrigators' Council @nswirrigators]

The @AlboMP Government’s water buybacks in the Murray-Darling Basin mean farmers grow less food. Less food means higher prices. Is that what we really need during a cost of living crisis? @tanya_plibersek #auspol
