We had the privilege this week of sitting down with NSW Water Minister Rose Jackson to talk through a number of state water management issues.

And it has been a really big week of announcements with the much-awaited release of the Connectivity Expert Panel’s interim report which assesses the rules in all northern Basin water sharing plans… this report was born from last year's mass fish deaths at Menindee and it aims to bring the rules for upstream extraction back to a sustainable level. 

But we are going to save that big topic for next week… instead we are going to follow up with our promise to take questions to the NSW Water Minister Rose Jackson about the Wilcannia Wier replacement project.

We also hear from Midura City Councilllor Jason Modica who is the chair of region 4 of the Murray Daring Association. He’ll be discussing the upcoming Basin Forum which will be held in Mildura next week.
