We need a royal commission into the Murray Darling Basin Plan

The Murray Darling Basin is facing unprecedented environmental collapse. 

We need answers. We know that the big corporate cotton growers continue to make profits, while their downstream neighbours, river communities, and the environment are left high and dry.

That’s why the Greens’ are moving to establish a Royal Commission into the Murray Darling Basin.

A Royal Commission will help us get to the bottom of why the river is suffering, and set us on a course to fix it. If we look after the river, it will look after us. We need it to last.

Dear Prime Minister,

Taxpayers have spent $13 billion on a plan to save the Murray Darling Basin, the lifeblood of our nation, and yet the river is dying. We deserve to know where the water is, and where our money has gone.

I want a Royal Commission into the Murray Darling Basin. A Royal Commission will help us get to the bottom of why the river is suffering, and set us on a course to fix it.

We want to see a flourishing, healthy river. We want our Murray Darling to be restored and thriving. Support the Greens’ push for a Royal Commission – it is time to cut through the muck and save our River!
