Mr Xenephon I am very proud of you.

I have previously been most critical of Mr Xenephon in this blog. Click the heading on this blog to find out why I am actually pleased. It is great to see him stand firm on this matter. If the Murray Darling is not essential Infrastructure what is it. The basin produces a very large portion of Australian Food Exports and the Government lethargy on this matter is most frustrating.
For Senator Nick Sherry to say the Government is handling this issue elsewhere is pathetic, when are we going to hear about it - this matter has raged on for months,years and decades and now whilst in spending mode why not on the Murray Darling Issue. When are you going to do this or are you simply going to allow the whole basin disintegrate into an Economic and Environmental disaster.
Good on you Nick - it is time to make the Government accountable for the lack of infrastructure spending that could fix this problem once and for all.
