This is a copy of a letter sent to John Seery, Gwydir Valley irrigator and major water-speculator. We await his response: 23rd October 2008 Mr John Seery,
WJ & A Seery, Kooroogamma Rd MOREE NSW, 2400 Dear Mr Seery, I contact you as coordinator of this national group, as, subsequent to the broadcast of the “Four Corners” report, we have been inundated with communications from everyday Australians, from every state in the country, dismayed by what they saw and especially the activities of companies, such as yours, which harvest water from flood-plains in the Darling catchment. We would like to give you the opportunity to inform our membership and other Australians via our web-site ( www.fairwateruse.com.au ) why you believe that such activities are appropriate given the current crisis: the dire and worsening ecological health of the Darling River system, the secondary impacts on countless down-stream communities and climate / rainfall projections for the Murray-Darling Basin as a whole. |
