I studied the Murray darling river in 1980. Back then big mining companies had taken more then 25 Sydney harbours worth of underground water. Can’t imagine how much it’d be by now 😢😢😢

ABCRural So what? This is what rural Australia voted for. They chose red neck policy that destroy themselves & now they are crying? PlatypusKillers get no sympathy from me, they are public enemy 1 obviously! Scum of the earth

Biblical principles and times are upon us now! The anti Christ is here and everything is devastating!

It’s not rocket science.

Its not rocket science.. Build 2 desal pkants on the coast. One at the lakes entrance for the murray and one near Brisbane for the Darling..... Pump water 24/7 until they both are full and flowing....

Good article. Disturbing but thanks.

ABCRural It's the fishes' fault. They should have emigrated, in a boat, as refugees, from the hell hole that is Australia's carbon cooked climate.

Who was the deadshit who thought it was a good idea to grow cotton in Australia?

The MDBA opened the weirs and emptied the Menindee lakes. In a drought year. Maybe you should ask the question: Who’s decision was it to open the weir during a drought? Who approved it?

Yes we know. No adjustments were made in regard to environmental flows despite the fact of the prolonged drought. Simples!

Damn experts trying to complicate the issue. It's simple, Barnaby killed them. outrageindustry

Ask cubbie station who allowed the 460 billion litres for them ? Use the facts

Has thrown doubt? Are you serious?

FatherBob THE LIBERAL/NATIONAL PARTY is to Blame have a look at the SHITE Barnaby Joyce said about it? And the new Nationals leader is not far from Menindee, and his office is literally on the banks of the Murray river in Mildura, they don't give a shit.

ABCRural So politicians know more than the experts. Alright got it👍🏻

Maybe beetrooter will grab some fish for a feed!! He's been very quiet about this!!!

Get the army to clean it up

Mmmyes, like this has never happened before …

Barnabys dinner for the millennium.

Removal of these fish means insects Mosquitoes & other food chain is disrupted. Management WHAT management.

Twiddling their damn thumbs ain’t going to fix it. This needs to be sorted now, not when the bureaucrats finally get of their backsides.

Hey Vanuatu & Fiji more proof of Morrisons love for the environment and how he'll help your countries deal with ClimateChange . Dont believe a word, he's a denier and a fraud! ClimateDenier ecocide

Look at that photo. Such a waste of food.

Thrown doubt over the management? You can't hide a management screw up that catastrophic.

‘Doubt’ over management. I’d suggest it’s proof of mismanagement
