The political domination of both NSW and Victoria by their urban, Green oriented populations, is insurmountable.
History has shown that it doesn’t matter what facts or figures are presented, or what representations are made, or what protests are staged, the decimation of the irrigation, and actually all natural resource based industries, continues.
This is not because the facts and figures being presented are incorrect, or because the representations are inadequate, or because the protests are not seen; it is because the State’s politics demand that these industries be decimated.
A Riverina State, separate from both NSW and Victoria, naturally encompassing virtually all of the catchment area of the Murray Darling Basin, with its people directly affected by the style of water management, will ensure that water in rivers is managed responsibly, and for the benefit of the people living in this State, and for the many people that rely on food and fibre produced in this State for their very subsistence.
All people will benefit.
This State is needed, and it is needed, now!
