A risk of #fishkills over coming weeks in Menindee is “high”. Good to see the government proactively communicating, but sorry to see the river in such a state. @RoseBJackson there’s no major drought or flood, this time the river is stuggling with a bit of rain. #Auspol

@drianwright At what level will Shires and State Governments admit that the drinking water is not fit for human consumption. The excuses are unforgivable

I feel that we are only scratching the surface of PFAS contamination in our waterways - even those that are 'protected' drinking water catchments. smh.com.au/national/nsw/w…
