Higher water prices = higher grocery prices.
When water buybacks offer above-market prices, they rig the water market.
That pushes water costs up for productive farmers — the people who grow your food.
At the same time, buybacks strip water out of Murray.
Less water here means less food grown, less competition, and higher prices on city shelves.
This isn’t abstract policy.
It’s a direct cost-of-living hit for households, driven by a broken water system.
If you care about grocery prices, you have to care about water policy.
That’s why I’m calling for a Federal Royal Commission into water.
