MEDIA RELEASE

Subsequent to yesterday’s release of terms of reference for the National State of Emergency Commission and National Public Commission of Inquiry into the Murray-Darling crisis proposed by Fair Water Use (Australia), copies of these documents have now been provided to the Prime Minister, Basin State Premiers, Federal and State Ministers with responsibility for water and their opposition counterparts.

Fair Water Use has requested that each of these senior party members indicate their stance on these proposals - and awaits their responses.

National coordinator of Fair Water Use, Dr Ian Douglas, said earlier today, “Members of current administrations, and those that aspire to succeed them, can no longer afford to ignore the increasingly-loud calls, coming from all parts of Australia, for urgent and meaningful action on the Murray-Darling crisis – or do so at their electoral peril”.
