Did you know NSW water users are amongst the most water efficient in the world? Our farmers are constantly working on ways to produce more, using less water

Exciting update from one of our members and a good lesson for #nswgov on how agriculture can be integral to delivering tangible environmental outcomes – but only if the policy settings and water sharing plans facilitate what the Bega community needs. abc.net.au/news/2024-07-2…

The 3000 billion litres of water recovered for the environment so far is showing some local benefits, but action on European carp and other degradation drivers is what our rivers need most now.

Have a great evening.

Look forward to seeing how this goes.

With water diversions 23% below sustainable diversion limits, overuse is not the problem. The problem is #ausgov inaction on issues like European carp and river degradation #NationalAgRally

Farmers stand united in Canberra today to say enough is enough when it comes to policies like reckless water recovery in the Basin that will ruin their livelihoods and hollow out regional towns #NationalAgRally
