Selective quoting out of context again? You should know nobody believes you anymore when you do this.
Perhaps you want more from the reference?
"An intergovernmental war has erupted since ABC’s Four Corners program reported that billions of litres of water bought by taxpayers to return to the environment under the Murray-Darling basin plan were being allegedly pumped out by some irrigators for cotton growing in northern NSW."
"Guardian Australia has requested a response from Hanlon to the allegations but has received no comment. Both Joyce and the NSW water minister, Niall Blair, said
Hanlon had self-referred to the NSW independent commission against corruption to clear up the matter.
There may be five inquiries into the allegations, given calls for investigations by the Icac, a NSW government-initiated independent inquiry, the commonwealth auditor general, a judicial inquiry and a Senate inquiry.
Joyce said the issue of water theft from the Barwon Darling system in northern NSW – a critical link in the Murray-Darling river system – was “an issue overwhelmingly for NSW”. He said once investigations were complete, the issue would be on the agenda at the next water ministers’ meeting."
"On Wednesday, the South Australian premier, Jay Weatherill, called for commonwealth oversight of all compliance over the length of the Murray-Darling river system and a federal judicial review into allegations of water theft in NSW."
That's a goody. They want Commonwealth oversight of compliance, obviously something that isn't in the legislation.
Unless Bammy you can point to the Commonwealth Legislation and where it gives the Feds policeman powers"Such a move would radically alter the arrangements for water management in Australia.
Currently state governments are responsible for making sure water licence rules are enforced across Queensland, NSW, Victoria and South Australia. "
Is that context enough for you? If you have a genuine bitch you should be able pinpoint it.
Do you even know what
context is?
