We have had a incredibly strong response from supporters expressing their disgust at the maverick behaviour of the Queensland Government with respect to their pre-emptive and untenable valuation of water allocations.There can be little doubt that this process is designed either to take unreasonable advantage of or to obstruct the Federal Government's buy-back scheme.

FWU is not a strong supporter of the buy-back, however this opportunistic and ecologically-disastrous behaviour must be strongly condemned by anyone who cares about the future of the Murray-Darling Basin.

If you are moved to take action on this, we would urge you to send a fax (no matter how brief) to Minister Wallace on (07) 4773 5013 and/or Premier Bligh on (07) 3221 3631 to let them know how you feel. Emails may be easier but are unlikely to reach their desks.
