Helen Dalton MP INDEPENDENT MEMBER FOR MURRAY

It seems ironic to talk about water when our region has just gone through one of the worst flooding events in history, but as we all know, Australia is a land of climatic extremes.

Every day we are a day closer to the next drought.

Water is the cornerstone of the success of our region and irrigation underpins our communities, our business and our environment.

We need sensible and strong water policy in Australia and part of that includes water transparency.

I currently have a bill before parliament calling for a transparent water register so we know who owns our water – that includes foreign ownership

How can a Chinese foreign corporate owns 7000megs in the Gwydir valley?

NSW MPS now have to declare their water interests on the pecuniary interest form after I successfully changed some legislation late last year

I will continue to push for sensible water policy in NSW.
