Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The MurrayDarling Basin is Australias greatest environmental asset. The story of water in Australia is written into its ancient rivers, creeks and wetlands. Its home to more than forty Indigenous nations, and it covers an area bigger than France. It is the beating heart of our regions and sustains 40 per cent of our food production. In 2012 Australia signed up to the MurrayDarling Basin Plan, a scheme designed to create a market for the Basins water and to safeguard the environment. But the Plan has gone horribly wrong. It has sold our farmers and rural communities down the river. It has contributed to appalling environmental damage on the planets driest inhabited continent. It has allowed a ruthless market to form, exploited by traders who buy and sell water as if it were a currency like Bitcoin. Scott Hamilton and Stuart Kells, both experts in public policy, have interviewed irrigators, farmers, Traditional Custodians and water traders to tell this disastrous story. In doing so, they bring to light how we have failed to protect our most precious natural resource. You cant understand Australia without understanding water. Sold Down the River is compulsory reading for all of us. "Sold Down the River" by Scott Hamilton and Stuart Kells provides a fascinating and in-depth exploration of the lesser-known history of slavery in Australia, revealing the complexities and contradictions of colonial society and shedding light on an often-overlooked part of Australia's past. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781922458124
