https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-22/fish-kill-inquiry-ordered-by-federal-government/10736962

quote:

The Federal Government has ordered an independent study of the recent mass fish kills in the Lower Darling River.

It comes a day after the Opposition announced it had commissioned its own independent review, by the Australian Academy of Science, into why hundreds of thousands of fish had died near Menindee, in far-western New South Wales.
The study also comes as the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) revealed it was investigating reports of another fish kill at Lake Inverell, on the Macintyre River.
The NSW DPI said in a statement that thousands of fish, mainly juveniles between 2cm and 10cm in length, were found washed up on the banks of the lake on Monday, with some larger fish also found dead further upstream.
Species included golden perch, Murray cod, eel-tailed catfish, carp, gudgeon, and freshwater shrimp.
The DPI said the water in the lake was "visibly stagnant" with a high algae content and a dark-green colouration to the water.
Federal Agriculture and Water Resources Minister David Littleproud said Melbourne University's Dr Robert Vertessy would chair a "fair dinkum, independent" panel that must investigate how and why the fish kills, in December 2018 and January 2019, happened.
"These fish kills were predicated by one of the largest droughts we've ever seen in this nation's history and these events are natural, they have happened for centuries they also happen in blackwater events and floods," Mr Littleproud said.

Mr Littleproud said the panel, to be selected by Dr Vertessy, would have access to state water managers including the NSW Department of Fisheries scientists.
It must consider the management and events that led up, and responded, to the fish deaths.
It will provide recommendations to state and federal governments and the Murray-Darling Basin Authority in a bid to prevent future large fish kills.
Announcing what he called the fish kill "assessment" in Toowoomba, Mr Littleproud refuted the suggestion irrigators upstream had contributed to the fish deaths.
"That is nonsense that cotton farmers are to blame for this," Mr Littleproud said.

"At the start of every year, what happens is the water managers sit down and they have water flows for human consumption and for the environment and then everything that is left over goes to cotton farmers or to wheat farmers.
"The reality is it's done in a scientific way, so all we're saying is let's work through the science of how to better manage that water flow to allow the best outcomes not only for the environment but for the economy and also for us, the human beings within it."
We're gonna get a study done, but frankly we already know whose fault it wasn't

Victoria bad? :negative:

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/jan/22/victoria-spends-less-than-half-what-nsw-does-on-social-housing-report-shows

quote:

Victoria spends less than half the national average on social housing, report shows

Victoria is spending less than half as much on social housing as New South Wales, according to a report that has also provided evidence that homelessness agencies across Australia are being strained by increased demand.

The Productivity Commission’s report on government services, released on Tuesday, was labelled a “damning insight into many years of neglect” from both state and federal governments.

But the report’s findings were bleakest in Victoria, which was recorded as spending $530m on social housing last financial year, below NSW ($1.37bn), Western Australia ($829m) and Queensland ($628m).

Taking into account its growing population, the commission said Victoria’s expenditure equated to just $82.94 per person, compared with $173.35 in NSW. The national average in 2016-17 stood at $166.93.

Victoria’s per person spending on social housing has also fallen each year since 2014-15, down from $95.92 per person, the report showed.

During last year’s election campaign, Daniel Andrews’s government faced a campaign from social services groups to build 30,000 social houses over a decade. It responded by pledging $209m to build 1,000 new public housing units over the next three years.

The two times I’ve been to Melbourne the cbd had significantly more homeless people than I’ve ever seen in Brisbane or Sydney. Everyone I know who’s spent some time in Melbourne has remarked on how much more of a homelessness problem they seem to have.
