Australia’s Federal Water Minister Tanya Plibersek has admitted that delivering a key component to the Murray Darling Basin Plan before the 2024 deadline would be “next to impossible.”

This follows calls in June from Liberal Senator Anne Ruston who urged Plibersek to visit communities across the Murray Darling Basin in order to have a greater “understanding” of rural and regional areas.
