"During the federal election campaign, Labor promised to future-proof
Australia’s water resources. Now, new Water Minister Tanya Plibersek must
deliver on the policy – one vital to securing Australia’s future.
Australia is already challenged by extremes of intense drought and severe
floods, and these will be exacerbated as climate change progresses. Amid this,
we must continue to feed a growing population and support important export
industries, while leaving enough water for people to drink and for rivers to
flow.
Many of the nation’s water policies are outdated and, in some cases, clearly
ineffective. Over the past nine years of Coalition government, commitment to
fix the problems has been sorely lacking.
Labor says it will right these wrongs. It’s a massive job. Here, I outline six
actions the new government should prioritise."
