Draining it Dry
Cubbie has been in the news for a while now, almost as long as there has been water issues in the Murray Darling basin…which is hardly surprising given the amount of water the property has locked up. If the Rudd government was really about looking after the National interest rather than certain Vested interests then the bloody minister for water resources would act. I think removing water rights from the states is the only place to start and cubbie booty should be returned to the environment for the same amount they paid for it in the first place, $3700 a year for an allocation of over 500,000 ML of water. It would be a brave act but what is more important, an inland water system or a rich farmer?
