Broken promises to Basin Communities, a rewrite must put vulnerable communities first #auspol @ALGAcomms

2/2 Severe 2,4-D damage from spray drift has been a major setback for some and is impacting yields hard. A timely reminder to keep the spray on the weeds and minimise drift - small decisions made can have very big impacts

Dam check: Dartmouth spillway today, 5800 ML per day going over. Last time it spilled in 1996, it peaked at 20,000ML per day. More rain expected next week.

Every year from when I was 6 I would look on , green with envy, as my mates would proudly buy and hang their Premiership posters. Now I’m 60 and I have my own to proudly hang..finally fulfilling a childhood dream. The feeling I have now has been worth the wait !!

@leigh_vial @ricegrowers You would think supplementary would have started this morning. Much of the flow will be lost in the flooding of the choke or lost out to sea, hard to understand why there wouldn’t be a few days supp/UCF

@aldo_armytage @GlenBaxter4 @aldo_armytage I’m flat out irrigating 😂 I would be if I had some allocation

[Noel Baxter @NoelBaxter10]

Just visited lock 1 about 5600ML a day flowing over it, a huge amount of water for a drought

[The Bradfield Party 🌸😎🇦🇺🚛 @BradfieldThe]

We live in a country that has droughts, and floods

Its how we manage these that counts

#buildthebradfield

And get some competent people to manage the Murray Darling Basin

[60 Minutes Australia @60Mins]

We’re battling one of the worst droughts of all time – so why are millions of litres of precious water being wasted? SUNDAY on #60Mins: Australia’s water wars. The national scandal selling our farmers down the river.

Organisers estimate more than 1000 people are present at the Tocumwal rally to Fix the Plan.

[Noel Baxter @NoelBaxter10]

Great to see so many at the rally today, well done to those that organised it and everyone that attended

[The Weekly Times @theweeklytimes]

This is the moment irrigators threw an effigy of Water Minister David Littleproud into the Murray River during the Fix the Basin Plan rally at Tocumwal.

Basin farmers feel the pinch in NSW, Vic - https://t.co/5i5WGOdu2n https://t.co/4H89CElofk

[farmercate @farmercate2]

Wonder how many farmers lay in bed at 4.26am wondering what the future will hold, whether @M_McCormackMP @sussanley our govt will stop allowing pouring of water out to sea and allowing massive irrigation development below the choke at NSW irrigators expense. Just wondering.

[Noel Baxter @NoelBaxter10]

@KeyWater1 @H2OX_News @progressiveagri @aithernews @IrrigatedCC @IrrigatorsSAMI @nswirrigators @micksfoley @soupercocky @James_Stacey_ Good question figures don’t work for any annual crops, are buyers hoping the choke trade will open ? Surely it won’t.

[Southern Riverina Irrigators @southernriverin]

There are changes that can and need to be made, so when there is less resource available we can use more of it on meaningful uses. There are lots of positives of making the change and a wealth of negatives if we don’t. We need to fix the bottom end.

"The Broken Hill pipeline was put through in haste," says @MaryanneSlatte1, Senior Water Researcher @TheAusInstitute, on @theprojecttv #auspol

"There was no environmental impact assessment, there was no cultural heritage assessment done."

[@JustineBucknell💧 also @juzzyb.bsky.social @djbuck99]

"Documents reveal $500m Broken Hill pipeline built for benefit of irrigators" The govt made little effort to evaluate the pipeline's impact on the Lower Darling & instead put weight on how the pipeline would help cotton upstream and mining along its route. https://t.co/RftJPcv8hY
