A BASIN PLAN GOING
NOWHERE
Hello
one and all again,
So
what has been going on the last few weeks?
Well
not a lot of media coverage, which is to be expected, but it is great to see
all the people and organisations who have been fighting for a fairer basin plan
all well and truly active.
I
travelled to Canberra last Wednesday with a car full of new Facebook friends
and we attended a very interesting rally in front of Parliament House, not a
great load of people (around 300) but by gee were they passionate.
I
had a great time walking around showing my Basin Plan placards and they generated
a great deal of interest.
Of
course the carbon tax and our PM’s more than unfortunate past were the main
topics of debate. Michael Smith spoke at length about his stance on the PM’s
past and it was extremely enlightening, I already had a dim view of her, but it
is a very black view now.
Where
to from here?
Honestly
I can not see how a fair basin plan can possibly be negotiated between the
states and a radical, left wing, minority Federal Government, so let’s keep the
pressure right on the states and delay this process until the inevitable (a
change in our Federal Government), then we need to keep the pressure on all of
our coalition politicians and hold them to their promises.
REMEMBER: WITH TIME,
VISION, COMMON SENSE AND OF COURSE MONEY A FAIR MURRAY DARLING BASIN PLAN CAN
BE ACHIEVED FOR ALL INTERESTED PARTIES.
