https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/sep/23/nsw-government-plan-to-legalise-floodplain-water-harvesting-defeated-in-parliament

quote:

A crucial law that would have legalised floodplain harvesting in New South Wales while the government devises a comprehensive licensing scheme has been disallowed, leaving the status of the practice in limbo.
In a rare defeat for the NSW government, Labor, the Greens, independents, Shooters, Fishers and Farmers, the Animal Justice party and One Nation joined forces in the upper house last night to defeat the regulation, which would have allowed “passive take” of floodwaters.

When your plan to legalise massive water theft is a little too blatant

I’m not sure what it means by floodplain harvesting. My understanding is that water that falls (ie rain, snow, hail, etc) on your land is yours (unless you sold the water rights) so is this talking about putting lèves up to collect water falling on flat land within the property or referring to water coming onto the property via a flood plains (as opposed to identified water courses such as creeks and rivers).

My mistake. I imagine with the threat of ICAC NSW pollies would have been more circumspect than the federal government was in this case.
