Vale the Lower Lakes and Coorong, South Australia


Despite the increased urgency of expert warnings of impending disaster, for over a decade the Liberals and Nationals dragged their feet on the issue of environmental water flow for the Murray Darling river system - they more than anyone else are responsible for the imminent death of the Lower Murray.
The Howard Government obviously had the constitutional power to force the issue, however by the time of its electoral defeat last November it had done almost nothing except play politics in the media over the issue.

WELL HOWARD COULD HAVE WASTED BILLIONS PUTTING 30 PERCENT OF FOOD PRODUCERS OUT OF THE EQUATION AND DESTROYING RIVER COMMUNITIES. LIKE LABOR IS DOING IN 2010.
