City People, before you accuse this farmer, have a think about where your rice, wine, oranges and many other foodstuffs come from. I am ashamed of how our government constantly avoids mentioning the implications for towns in farming regions like the MIA. If these towns are affected because of this MDBA plan going ahead, you can say goodbye to Australian produce and say hello to imported produce. See all sides of the story before you accuse. The Greens are feeding lies to the Australian public!

@margo374 environMENTALism was created literally invented by Fabian Socialists back around 1880 for the purpose of a carbon based monetary system after the current one collapses.These are very rich elite men that do not give a hoot about rivers or trees they care only about themselves control money and power.Learn your history and the roots of a movement before blindly following it.

Go to the CEC website for more information on what's really going on in Australia!!! It seems we are contending against a fabian socialist takeover of our government on BOTH sides.Crown Corp owns and runs everything.The Old English Empire still has a strangle hold on our country.Go and learn the truth ,stand up and fight for Australia's Freedom from Empirical Tyranny!!!

The Murray-Darling Basin Authority and Water Minister Tony Burke are holding closed door meetings to coerce Basin community leaders into accepting their plan to gut the food bowl.Burke and the “community consultation” period is a bitter joke, as they intend to avoid at all costs the inevitable angry public meetings like those that rejected the MDBA’s Guide to the Plan late 2010.They're sneaking into towns for invitation-only meetings to buy off or intimidate the com leaders to submit to the plan

To all the people living on the River and in our country towns producing our fruit and vegies, please, please keep fighting hard to retain your farms and crops - there are plenty of us in the bigger Cities who support your fantastic efforts and hard toil to put fruit & veg on our tables. I am one City person who will only ever purchase locally (Australian) produced fruit and veg. I support IGA and small fruit & veg shops. You are doing an Invaluable service to this Country, keep up thegreat job

@margo374 Wake up Margo, you have been brainwashed.. remember the 'drought', the sky was going to fall in according to Federal and State governments. Guess what, the rivers are full, the dams are full and its still raining. The 'green movement' is a scam, just do some research and you will discover for yourself.

[Starkingdom555]

Tony B you are a disgrace to humanity and you know it.. future generations will look back at at these events with horror. The environment movement is nothing more than a facist ploy developed to destroy rather than evolve. Check out the CEC Australia for more info.

I am ashamed of the Australian Government. Pests. Maybe one day the population will discover the truth and vote in a ligitimate government that is dedicated to the people. Fingers crossed !!
