LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sir, it is concerning that the debate around the Murray Basin Plan still continues to avoid certain key facts.
Firstly, the plan is based on the fraudulent science that the Coorong is naturally a freshwater system fed by the Murray. This is a lie. The Coorong and the South Australian Lower Lakes were originally a saltwater estuary prior to the construction of the barrages. No amount of government and academic cover-ups can change this historical fact.
Secondly, the Basin Plan is doing horrific damage to the river, such as the massive riverbank erosion caused by pushing massively unnatural volumes of water down the river. The Murray River already has too much water.
Thirdly, the plan came about as a result of a Ramsar Convention treaty with the United Nations. It is UN/World Economic Forum foreign policy. It is part of a deliberate attack on our nations food supply. That is the intent. “The environment” is just being exploited for this objective. The politicians and bur-eaucrats responsible should be on trial for treason.
There is nothing good about the plan. The Murray River Group of Councils and others are doing the community a massive disservice by pandering to green ideology and refusing to call out the deliberate fraud of this plan. We need strong, clear leadership if we are to survive this.
The plan, along with the Commonwealth Water Act (2007) must be repealed and criminal investigations must occur to ensure that those responsible are bought to justice. Those who continue to push weak, vague or green rubbish should be ignored by the community so as they can fade into irrelevance and stop distracting from the true message.
