One Nation wants environmental water 'unlocked' for agriculture this season

One Nation and irrigators are calling for environmental water within the Murray-Darling Basin to be released for agricultural production during the current season. The proposal aims to make protected environmental water available to farmers to support their agricultural activities.

This demand highlights ongoing tensions between agricultural water needs and environmental management policies within the Murray-Darling Basin. Access to sufficient water remains a critical issue for primary producers operating in the region.
