“I’ve got 12 race horses on my property, and I’m afraid to give them this water. I don’t know how it’s going to affect them.”

“algal blooms were driven by high temperatures, low rainfall and a build-up of nutrients from agricultural run-off.”

True story…

While studying at university, I used to work at the local public aquarium (Underwater World) as a waiter. I had a boss by the name of Mr J. Sharkey!

One of my best friend’s name is Dr B. Gill!

And when I first started working as a veterinarian, I had a colleague by the name Dr Barry Munday!

And I was going to name my first son, Oscar!

My second son got the name Archer (fish)!

HOW IT STARTED…
COTTON growers have backed the appointment of the so called ‘Carpinator’ to improve the environment of river systems in the Murray Darling Basin...

“The potential environmental outcomes of the National Carp Control Plan should be recognised by governments within the Murray Darling Basin Plan, and so we call for a significant reduction in the amount of water recovery required to achieve environmental outcomes,” Mr Murray said.

“In the past a credit to the Sustainable Diversion Limit of 200GL has been proposed, and we believe this would be an appropriate outcome once the Carp Control Plan is in effect.”

HOW IT’S ENDED UP…
The CARPINATOR: Matt Barwick has stepped down from the role as national coordinator for the National Carp Control Plan.
