We are all aware of the challenges faced by the Murray Darling Basin landholders and communities. Our civic leaders are attempting to come up with a workable solution to rehabilitate this once amazingly productive system.
Wild Rivers legislation works on the premise that it is better to protect our catchments, than it is to rehabilitate at some point in the future. The Wild Rivers legislation wishes to preserve Queensland's rivers that have all, or nearly all of their natural values intact, for current and future generations. It is important that we, as Queenslanders protect against the further loss of values by considering ALL of the activities that might impact on the health of a river and its catchment.
Is not this protection by legislation a noble and worthwhile thing?
