It’s official! One Nation, the Liberals, Labor and Nationals agree water buybacks will force more farmers out of business and permanently drive up the price of fresh food.

Talk of buybacks being needed for river health are quite simply rubbish. Australia’s river ecology has evolved over millennia to live happily through periods of flood and drought. The problem with the river now is too much water producing local flooding, eroding the river banks and producing standing “blackwater” in national parks along the river.

Australia does not need more environmental water in the hands of inner city ideologues. We need irrigation water in the hands of farmers to keep food on the table for the 2.3 million new arrivals this government is letting in.

I applaud the honesty and decency of the Victorian Government and Water Minister Shing on this issue. Congratulations also to One Nation’s MLC for Northern Victoria, Rikkie-Lee Tyrell, who has campaigned on this issue for years, with success.

    Who sold the water off in the first place and why?

    A bit of naming and shaming would be relevant and interesting.

    What if they dont want to sell?

    Labor and the Greens are dedicated to destroying our horticulture and agriculture industries, it’s that simple, all you need to do is look at their policies. They have an unspoken agenda.

    Farmers need to fight it is all part of the evil bill Gates to buy the farmland as he owns most of it in the USA. Shame on you Albanese as you work for him.
