A liberal senator in the state of South Australia has called on newly appointed environment and water minister, Tanya Plibersek, to visit communities across the Murray Darling Basin in order to have a greater “understanding” of rural and regional communities in Australia.
Speaking to Sky News host, Chris Kenny on June 2, liberal senator Anne Ruston said every community across the Murray Darling should be extending an invitation to Plibersek to ensure “that she gets out there and she sees the extraordinary importance and the value of these communities, and that making decisions a long long way from where the action’s happening is really fraught with danger.”
