Environmental conservation groups across four Australian states have criticised the Albanese government for failing to add additional funding from the federal budget towards meeting targets set under the Murray Darling Basin Plan (MDBP).
Environment Victoria, Nature Conservation Council NSW, Queensland Conservation Council, and the Conservation Council of South Australia have said that while the Albanese government has committed $146.8 million in the recent budget to fulfilling its election promise to complete the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, it has failed to commit funds towards delivering the final 450 gigalitres of water.
