    IMHO it is madness to provide "environmental" water to the Murray during a drought.

    Lake Alexandrina used to be blocked to the sea many times during drought in the past. Why waste water by diverting water now and give farmers no water because of it? Similarly the redgum forests used to tolerate drought in the past and flooding of course.

    It won't play it & it tells me so in uncertain terms, but reading the editorial gives me a decent coverage of what took place. Sounds like fun. Bloody useless me, me, me, full of hot air Pollies!

    Thanks again.

    Maybe farmers need to start accepting the environment that they work in and farm accordingly - basically drought is the norm not the exception and it is about time they start accepting that.

    Environmental flows in the river are important even in drought - in the past if the rivers were not being sucked dry by irrigation, and blocked by weirs etc drought would have been just part of the ebb and flow of the river but when flows are already reduced drought has a major impact.

    Regulators are between a rock and a hard place - when there is not enough water for the farmers they complain, but when millions of fish die the regulators also get hammered.

    When the agriculture sector start using the environment as it is, rather than what they would like it to be then farmers and the environment will be better off.

    I have for many years wondered at what paralysis of intellect was required to start a rice industry in a semi-desert on the driest continent on earth!!!!!!

    Do you have a smart phone? Hook up to some free wi-fi (if your plan is limited) and watch on iview.
