What does climate change mean for our rivers? Is the Murray-Darling Basin Plan working in Victoria, and does the Andrews government need to lift its game? What might the federal election mean for the health of our most important river system?
Join us for a public forum to explore these questions and put rivers and water on the agenda in the climate election. Hear from a scientist, an irrigator and an environmental campaigner about whether the Murray-Darling Basin Plan is working for Victoria and what needs to be done to address the impacts of climate change on our rivers. Speakers include:
- Professor Jamie Pittock from the Australian National University and the Wentworth Group, an internationally renowned expert on climate change and water management
- Peta Thornton, a Murray River local and irrigator at Swan Hill
- Jono La Nauze, CEO at Environment Victoria and one of Australia’s most experienced river campaigners
