100% accurate! I'm sick of hearing this take it on notice BS! Malcolm should also remind the idiots that the federal commonwealth constitution rules over any state, in which state laws are subject to the commonwealth constitution.
Did anyone else catch the “says the Queenslander”. What’s the bet the person who said it lives in a city further south in a colder part of the country barking orders from their bureaucratic ivory tower
the population loves it... they take your tax money and spend it on themselves and laugh in your face... but people in this country are more interested in having a go at someone for a few swear words..
what gets me is that abattoirs are not forced to recycle their water under EPA guidelines. Their waste water can be re used if cleaned up and the nutrients taken out can be use as crop amendments. The settling pond system will break down part of the waste..but the rest has to be mechanical to deal with the volumes of water used. Force them to do it.
The same old pattern of obfuscation passing the ball and avoiding ever standing up for what is right. If they won't serve us and our welfare sack them all!
The way this is being discussed assumes there is always an abundance of water into the system. Obviously Australia enjoying El Nino NOT forecast by the uber expensive BOM, means we will soon be enjoying not so much La Nina ie. drought. What happens then? do food production areas get priority or do the Chinese owned SE Qld cotten farmers still reign?
The answer is "Black rock will be invited in by the unseen, nameless faceless ones in Canberra to buy up the defunct farm land for cents on the dollar."
Keep digging, sounds like these folk running a recorded data and "accruals" combo style reporting (high level assumptions or lower level plug numbers). Bottom line you should be able to see a SCADA style view (plus drill downs & data panels) of near real time flows. across whole system.
So how much revenue was generated by the sale of the water ? Given that most farming now days that irrigates has a user pays system that many Australians have Net Zero clue about or the same level of knowledge on just where that money collected by government is actually used. In regards to the meat works why is it that they do not under regulation have to put all of their run off through a " sewerage / effluent" treatment system that uses solid removal tech and high end water sterilization processes to diminish all biological contaminates added to the water as a result of their operations ? Or is this just another case of a foreign based company operating and profiting in Australia that gets to flaunt the rules because of political ties and no doubt lobbying ? Operate a small workshop and see what the regulations are. If you do not comply with enviro regulations you can be shut down and more importantly just how quick you will get slapped if you do not comply. Again it seems the the majority of the small business owners are pulling the weight on these issues while those who have the financial / political pull seem to not have to do their share..... like politicians who scream climate change but are always at the forefront of burning jet fuel while telling you that you cannot and taxing you into compliance while they are exempt.
I grew up on the murray river (Riverland) and in the early to mid 90s, South Australia's Murray water levels were extremely low as water allocation was given mostly to Vic and NSW for irrigating rice and cotton which should never have been and should never be a part of Australia's agriculture. I remember there were a lot of growers that lost not only their livelihood's but the legacies that had been in some for families for generations and once it has been obliterated it is virtually impossible for families to continue for future generations and sadly some never have. I remember the impact on just bird life alone was impacted. Pelican numbers had depleted greatly to where it was noticed as I remember it was part of conversations among many down pubs' or in my case, footy club. I am now 50 and I am glad that the fight from those owning blocks and vineyards were able to get more water allocated as the environment resembles more of what i grew up with as a young child, and if it is sustained, and it bloody should be, will never be a problem for future generations.
5 Jan 2025 The Oakey meat works is 100% owned by NH Foods of Japan. Between mid-March and mid-June 2022, NH Foods released 175 megalitres (175,000,000 litres) of heavily contaminated abattoir runoff into Oakey Creek, which flows into the Condamine Balonne river system, part of the Murray Darling Basin. From there, the contamination makes its way down the Darling and Murray Rivers into the Lower Lakes in South Australia. The contamination was horrific: 460,000 MPN/100ml (milliliters) for E.coli, 151 mg/litre of ammonia nitrate, and phosphorus at 29 mg/litre. The Queensland Government investigated and agreed with the facts but only fined the meat works $13,000 when they could have been fined $1.3 million per day. This might have something to do with the close links between the meat works and the union movement. I pointed out that charging a foreign meat works $13,000 to dispose of such a large amount of heavily polluted water under cover of heavy rain is a scandal. Why would Oakey meat works or any other company bother to dispose of waste properly when they can just dump it into the Murray Darling system and pay a token fine for doing so? I first asked the Inspector-General of Water Compliance if he would investigate, and he refused. This is despite the Act, which established his agency, specifically outlines his duties to include intervening when a State Government fails to do their job, which Queensland has in this case. After that hand-washing, I asked the Murray Darling Basin Authority if they were concerned about such a large source of toxic pollution, which may have led to the famous blue-green algae outbreak and fish kill near Menindee. The answer was more deflection, with the matter ending at the Queensland Government's door. If this was a farmer, they would be all over it, and indeed are all over farm runoff. But abattoir runoff? Apparently not.
The "international Net work of basin organisations". Sounds like the " Secret bureaucrat milk the taxpayer social group". Where are the Alleged greens in this?
Going back to the water contamination issue, I would like to know what the plants practises were to make those levels so high. Water is mostly used as washing during the processes in production, so why did it get so contaminated.
Can someone please inform me where we can access the information - the answers - to what was constantly ’taken on notice’? Is it just a matter of trolling through hours of dialect or what? And why don’t these people have access to their own information immediately??? Also - who are those people in the background…press? Doing live reporting? Thank you in advance 🫡
Did anyone else catch the “says the Queenslander”. What’s the bet the person who said it lives in a city further south in a colder part of the country barking orders from their bureaucratic ivory tower
Absolutely atrocious... This is not accountability!!
Here we can see HOW MUCH OF TAX PAYERS MONEY IS WASTED ON INCOMPETENT PUBLIC SERVANTS.!!
100% accurate! I'm sick of hearing this take it on notice BS!
Malcolm should also remind the idiots that the federal commonwealth constitution rules over any state, in which state laws are subject to the commonwealth constitution.
Thank you Senator Malcolm Roberts 😮😊
Did the phon voters against the ALP on the Murray darling investigation?
All these overseas trips and nothing ever improves. Soo much corruption and they bark when they are questioned about it,
Sounds like more creative accounting to justify their means
Definately not a time server. Thank you senator
Roberts.

I love how these fools think that they are so special by placing her name tag on the table
Healthy flow of River? She does not know what healthy MEANS ' What Nonsense.
What's WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY, Especially under LABOR, Women with Mealy Mouth's, appear to be Running The Show, WITH NO BLOODY IDEA.
Feminism, wokeness, boss everybody else is suppressed especially males.

Absolute corruption continues!
doesn't anyone do a risk assessment before they let these businesses start work?
Strange, this !
They are that many regulations in legislations and environmental clauses. How can anyone business can be approved.
As the Senator states union movement and the Queensland labor party are in lockstep and rules only apply to those not "in the Club" .
I didn't hear any thing about Oakey.
Wrong heading? Prob be on another video
Oaky is at the head of the Murray Darling system.

We must stop flood plain harvesting.
Don't let you left hand know what your right hand is doing...
read section 100 of out Federal Commonwealth Constitution.....
Which one?
wu tang. .
I find that Jenny's demeanour somewhat condescending. She needs to go out and come back with a new attitude, as do most from the liebore camp.
That young woman behind you is distracting. I had to watch this video twice. I might watch it a third time with the sound off.
Get your hand of it
put it back in your pants perv
