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. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

This is the same Judge who ruled in favour of the SANTOS SLAPP suit against the EDO - the TIWI Island case for the "apparent" coaching of a witness. The hypocrisy is gobsmacking. I'd say this is grounds for an appeal @edolawyers.bsky.social www.afr.com/companies/en...

Bureaucracy is actually holding the environment to ransom - This is a prime example of how big end of town lobbying can change legal definitions to suit their own agenda. This is a new low - it is sabotage - maladministration and unlawful, and will have catastrophic consequences. t.co/7lylJGWDXu

NRAR, Australia's National Resource Access Regulator, has paused all environmental water for the Murray Darling Basin. No environmental flows means no water for the fish or animals. Cotton Barons have been pushing for this for a long time. Get angry. 😡
