Cameron Supports Caroona Concerns in Senate


Posted on June 9th, by rooify in Uncategorized. No Comments

Senator Doug Cameron, Federal Senator for NSW, roundly supported the people of the Liverpool Plains in his impassioned speech to the Senate this Wednesday.  He revealed that he had received “numerous pieces of correspondence from concerned citizens”, and read out excerpts from five of them.

  He said “an independent, catchment-wide study of the water structure of the region needs to happen, and it needs to happen soon….before any mining commences”.
 We certainly agree, as we wait, with cautious optimism for the NSW Government to agree to the Terms of Reference of the proposed Water Study. 

We thank him for visiting, his understanding of the critical issues at stake and his support for farming on our Prime Agricultural Land.  Read the relevant Hansard speech here.
