The Nats must be worried about losing Barwon in the next NSW election. The line from the NSW govt for more than a year was that they’d ruled out a new Wilcannia weir - because a recently-completed business case that found a new weir didn’t meet cost-benefit requirements (1/2)

It’s no wonder Broken Hill has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in NSW when the local paper characterises a terrifying attack like this as a grumpy dad “ruining” his kid’s party

My lab (UNSW) and colleagues at Newcastle Uni would like to collect numerous samples to test Cyanobacteria ("blue-green algae") in currently affected waters from Menindee Lakes, Darling River & other affected areas. If you'd be willing to collect these for us can you let me know?

Residents in Menindee, the far-west NSW town where a million fish were recently found dead, say their drinking water is rancid and making them sick. Essential Energy says their water quality is up to standard. Listen to Australia Wide from 6 tonight ab.co/2AMqHl6

A few scenes from today’s NSW Aboriginal Land Council rally at Menindee. About 300 people (or two thirds the town’s population) took to the street, and held a minute’s silence for the Darling River. It’s almost become a cliche to say that there is so much anger in these Darling River towns.

Devastating news about Notre Dame, a genuine shame to see a beautiful, historic, spiritual place destroyed. In Australia, this happens all the time - usually for the purposes of mining, development or - in the case of the 800+ year old Djab Wurrung birthing trees - a highway.

They led marches on horseback, insulted police officers and started their own hospitals. Broken hill's 'rebel women' shaped the town and its role in the union movement. Broken Hill Council #History #Herstory #Union abc.net.au/news/2019-05-0…

"I'd love to vote and say, 'hey I've been counted for' (but) right now I'm not having my say." Great article by Gayle Ball out of #ABCBrokenHill about the most vulnerable people in our country missing out on their democratic right ab.co/2VaBaOG
