Helen Dalton MP INDEPENDENT MEMBER FOR MURRAY MEA NSW This year my focus is to continue improving the quality of services in the seat of Murray. In particular I have water, health and infrastructure in my sights. I have grave concerns about the Federal and State government's water policies and the devastating impact they will have on our communities. I have come up with a 7 point plan to fix the Murray Darling Basin once and for all. It's simple, it's clear and it's long overdue: 1. No water buybacks if they hurt communities. 2. The return of South Australia's Lower Lakes to their natural state. 3. Increased desalination in order to provide water to South Australia. 4. Proper water metering throughout the Basin system. 5. A renewed focus on water quality. 6. A ban on the government flooding of private wetlands. 7. An increase in downstream water storage. This plan can save communities, it can save livelihoods and given the distress people are under, it may also save lives. I will be spending the next three months touring rural areas to advocate for this plan. I will not only meet with ministers but every local council as well. I feel part of my job is to educate ministers on this issue, particularly those in city seats. With that in mind I'll also be working to see more ministerial visits to the electorate. I'm looking forward to another year of standing up for all of us in Murray. Helen Dalton MP Authorised by Helen Dalton MP, Funded using Parliamentary Entitlements.
