This week on In-Focus, we will be looking at the Murray Darling Basin plan and explore how various interest groups are getting ready for the plan. The Murray-Darling Basin Authority is currently developing the draft of the Basin Plan, expected to be released for public comment in the last week of June, followed by a sixteen week public consultation period, after which the Murray Darling Basin Authority will finalise and deliver the Plan to Environment Minister Tony Burke. Anne Harnett, a beef cattle grower from Point Sturt, joins us this morning and Jess Wingard asked her what she hoped the plan would achieve.
For additional information on the issue you can head to the Australian Conservation Foundation website: www.acfonline.org.au/murrayaction or the Murray Darling Basin Authority website : www.mdba.gov.au/basin_plan
