Extract : The Goulburn irrigators cannot get enough of their licence entitlements now to save their trees and herds. The Government has airily dismissed these concerns by claiming an additional 225 gigalitres of water will be available under the food bowl modernisation program (FBMP) that can be split three ways between the irrigators, the pipeline and the environment.

.....Holding's presentation to the Australian Water Association annual dinner last week reduced savings from the FBMP from 225 gigalitres to 175 gigalitres. Even though about 60% of the engineers and other professionals at the dinner owe their livelihood directly or indirectly to the Government, there was barely a ripple of applause at the end of the speech.
