Three Sydney Harbours worth of Australian water — owned by The Canadian Mounties

Canadian and American trust funds now control more than 1,778 million megalitres of water rights across the Murray–Darling Basin — that’s over three Sydney Harbours worth of our most precious resource.

While Australian farmers battle rising costs and shrinking allocations, foreign funds are speculating on the very water that should be growing our food and sustaining our regional towns.

Water is not a stock to be traded by foreign investors.

It’s the foundation of our national food security.

It’s time we drew the line: Australian water should be owned by Australians — and used to grow Australian food.
