Des Houghton: Katter’s right, we need more dams, more mines and more gas
We Australians are living in a fool’s paradise when we let water that could be nourishing cattle and food crops flow wastefully into the ocean. We are already producing the world’s best beef thanks to outstanding companies like Stockyard, AAco, Stanbroke, and Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Agriculture. With more dams, more mines and more gas, Australia could become a food and energy superpower.

Pastoralists and Graziers Association claim Kimberley’s future at crossroads due to Fitzroy River catchment
“Central to their emotive claims is the never-ending myth around continuing plans for large-scale water extraction from the Fitzroy River and its tributaries, including shelving the proposed surface water allocation limit 300 gigalitres a year under the McGowan Government’s Fitzroy water allocation plan” he said. “At a time when the unemployment rate in the Kimberley remains significantly higher than the rest of the State, especially among our Indigenous youth, denying this vital and valuable industry the opportunity to not only increase cattle production but expand into agricultural activities, by prohibiting sustainable access to water, will not only create a very bleak future for the Kimberley but for the rest of Western Australia as well,” Mr Seabrook said.
