I haven't had the time to keep up with the various Inquiry and Royal Commission calls, and what has actually taken place and the outcomes.I think there were some minor prosecutions, but questions over the balance and viability of the Murray-Darling Basin plan are still in question.Recently we had a fairly brutal heat wave pass through the country at the tail end of a long drought. Over the last few weeks, and again over the last two days has come news of a devastating fish kill on the Darling river over a 40km odd stretch. Estimates of a Million or so fish killed ...... from 1cm long fingerlings to 1.3m long 'centurion' Murray Cod, through countless endangered adult breeding size Silver Perch .......    :-C<a href="https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2181855185414687&id=224628930603&_rdr" target="_blank">https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2181855185414687&id=224628930603&_rdr</a><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/worldtoday/millions-of-fish-killed-in-the-murray-darling-basin/10697608" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/worldtoday/millions-of-fish-killed-in-the-murray-darling-basin/10697608</a>This is a long way from the living river paradise it should be - time to wake right up !  So maddeningly sad ........   :-C    :storm:Chosun   :gh:</blockquote>
