Murray-Darling
Basin Authority
Level 4, 51 Allara St,
Canberra City, ACT 2601
This is an open letter to the whole committee.
Dear Sirs and Madams,
I have already lodged a number of submissions so this is an open
and frank letter to you.
Throughout the whole so called consultation process I have
maintained a Facebook page and written numerous letters to newspapers,
politicians, farming organisations and yourselves.
I have been heartened by the absolute huge number of support I
have received through this process.
To date I do not believe I and many other people have made any
impact in trying to bring some common sense and practicality to the basin plan.
I believe that from the outset you have had one version of this
shocking plan in mind and you have not and will not deviate from it.
How dare you push through this awful plan when there is almost
total opposition to it from farmers and people in the Basin communities?
The minority federal Labor Government does not have a mandate to
push through such dreadful legislation which will affect many millions of
people and future generations.
Having just read the NSW Farmers submission to yourselves, I am of
the opinion that it is a brilliantly put together document and something you
should consider as of extreme importance.
I know the greenies have probably flooded you with pro forma
letters. But how many of them live in the Murray Darling Basin? Very few I
suspect.
I have said right from the outset that with vision, common sense,
commitment, time and money that we can achieve satisfactory results for
everyone involved in this process.
Finally, your basin plan is extremely biased in what it wants to
achieve and its research.
Who wrote the computer programmes that your whiz bang computer modelling
is based on?
Yours
Faithfully,
Peter
Gilmour
