MP pushes for Kimberley-to-Murray pipeline - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

MP pushes for Kimberley-to-Murray pipeline - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
A South Australian MP says he will use new-found support from West Australian parliamentarians to lobby governments to pipe water from the Kimberley to the Murray.

The Member for Frome, Geoff Brock, met several WA parliamentarians in Perth last week, including Premier Colin Barnett.

Mr Brock wants $10 billion from water licence buybacks used to pipe 35,000 gigalitres of water annually, rather than let it flow out to sea.

He says a pipeline project would open up central Australia.

  1. The man appears foolish. What is he intending? To sell the water to the uranium projects? This deserves close scrutiny, the uranium mob must not start on kimberley water. KIMBERLEY WATER IS FOR SUSTAINING LIFE ONLY--NOT FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF DEADLY SUBSTANCES!!!
