The mismanagement of the irrigation water in the Murray Darling Basin under the 2007 Water Act has been a slow-motion train wreck that Topher has been covering since 2011. Recently in an editorial Topher covered the devastating news that the Federal Government plans to go ahead with another 450GL water buy-back, something the former Federal Government rejected based on the devastation it would cause to irrigation communities. Today Topher speaks with John Lolicato, an irrigator, to understand the impact on him, the impact on the environment, and get to the bottom of whether rice really 'should not be grown in Australia'.
Topher's videos on the topic include:
