Helen Dalton MP, Member for Murray, says the truth about your $13 billion of wasted taxpayer money needs to be told.

She says new research confirms what our communities have known for years – this Basin Plan was DESTINED TO FAIL from the start.

“You can’t fix complex river system issues with simplistic “just add water” solutions.”

While Minister Plibersek pushes buzzwords like “more water for the environment,” The Member for Murray says our rivers are:

• Being overrun by carp (90% of river biomass)

• Suffering from crumbling banks

• Struggling with poor water quality

Dalton says “Even their own paid scientific advisors have given them a failing grade. These childlike “solutions” and lazy politics aren’t just failing – they’re making things WORSE. While billions are wasted on flawed water buybacks, basic issues like pest control and infrastructure maintenance are ignored.”

She says “This is why we’ve developed REAL solutions in our 12-point plan. No more spin, no more waste, just practical answers for our communities and environment.”
