'Colossal task' to buying back water: Sarah Hanson-Young

????

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says there is a 'colossal task' ahead of the government to buy back water to return to the environment. Labor is potentially considering changing the legislated deadline to return 450 gigalitres of Murray Darling Basin water to the environment. Ms Hanson-Young said the government needs to be buying back the water. 'There is a colossal task to be done,' she told Sky News Australia. 'I'm very keen to make sure we get the water for the river.'

Take the gloves off with irrigat ors who have stolen huge volumes of water from the murray darling. The nationals are out of power now, and the nsw government is likely to be kicked out, so time for a massive crackdown on the crooks. We are not going to destroy in land Australia for stinking cotton

WHY not ENFORCE buybacks on water INVESTORS who are simply using it as bonds for profit, and leave agriculture alone.
@peterjones4180 Says:
The Murray Darling agreement was based on VERY dodgy assertions by scientists. Howard implemented Labor water policy. Every time listen to Hanson Young i realize how little she actually knows.

Let’s try… omg.. what a statement.. Greens will destroy agriculture and other industry in our small towns and regions.. What about the Darling river. Menindee Lakes.. Do they realise they just want to let the water flow into the Murray at Wentworth and then just flow out to sea… How about they stop planting nut trees by the tens of thousands along the Murray for a start..

How much stupid can you fit into one head? The water that has been flowing down into the dam at the mouth is unbelieveable. We should be using every drop of water before letting it run out to sea. And sorry South Australia but your geography hampers you but the river is not yours.

Buy back our own water from ourselves for the river that provided it in the first place? Why not build a roller coaster for the Koalas like we have done in Qld it makes just as much sense.

All the Greens want to do is pick on farmers. Labor and the Greens always pick on groups that don't have "Unions" to defend themselves. What would be smart politics - is build large diversion dams for the Queensland and N.S.W coastline and push the water inland to farmers. And then buy back the water. Instead of take everything away. And reduce food production in Australia. The fools making these claims - have no skin in the game. It's not their livelihood or job on the line. That's why Australian politics is full of fools - they simply want others to lose their house and incomes - so they can say they saved absolutely nothing. And voters don't get it - they will do the same to you - they simply play mind games that gives them personal pleasure of being able to destroy others, and sit there and tell you, how wonderful they are. Next election - you should treat them the same way don't vote for them. No-one will listen to them when they are no longer in politics. That's how you have to view these people. Self centered narcissistic. Let's look at the symptoms of a narcissistic personalty disorder. 1. Being overly boastful, exaggerating of one's own achievements. 2. Pretending to be superior to others. 3. Lack of empathy for others. 4. Looking down on others. 5. Monopolising conversations. 6. Impatient - angry - unhappy - depressed or has mood swings when criticized. 7. Easily disappointed when expected importance is not given. 8. Always craves for "the best" in everything. 9. Has a very fragile self-esteem. And that is from the medical journal of the symptoms of a narcissist. I give you Exhibit "A" Greens politicians personality.
