All we need is rain? Ignore the rest?

While up working on Tolarno last week we heard former SA premier say on ABC radio “all it needs to rain and all the other issues are just noise and should be ignored”. We need more than rain Mr Kerin , we need a plan or the future including such necessities for the rivers and lakes as water embargoes be in place , investigations into flood plain harvesting and an investigation into water theft throughout the system. There are many factors that must be worked on but it appears the liberal line is drought and wanting it too rain. The river system must be investigated fully so we understand all the factors at play, the criminals and the sustainable and unsustainable irrigators on the system. We all know the flows are reducing the science proves a bleak outlook so therefore, water can no longer be wasted on flood plain irrigation and practices must adapt to crops that suits the landscape rather than the profiteers pockets such as almonds and cotton. Start treating the Murray darling Barka rivers and lakes with respect rather than an opportunity to plunder the huge profits at the expense of our rivers, food security and children’s future . A whole lot more than the liberals saying all we need is rain . Coutesy of Rob from Tolarno Station & ABC TV https://www.abc.net.au/tv/default.htm
