Premier ignores food producers and river communities

Tuesday, 10 April 2012

"River communities and food producers continue to be ignored in the Basin Plan debate in South Australia," Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said today.

"Despite the best efforts of river communities and food producers to engage with the Weatherill Labor Government and environmentalists, their concerns – and the social and economic impact of the Basin Plan – are being ignored," Mr Whetstone said.

Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said heavy rainfall and floods in the Murray-Darling Basin had increased the risk of a major flood event in the Riverland.
