Water Transfer Bill

Currently, the Federal Government plans to buy 450 gigalitres of water from NSW in order to flush that water into the ocean.

NSW can not afford for a single drop of water to be lost to the Commonwealth. If this buyback happens, it will devastate rural NSW and the broader NSW economy.

I have introduced the Water Management Amendment (Transfer of Water) Bill 2023 which will prevent the transfer of NSW water to the Federal Government.
