' We want to reset these bio-diversities and the ecologies in our country. We want to see our fish spawning as they once were, our animals coming back down to drink. Fresh quality water out of the Coorong, not this super saline stuff that we' re living in today' s environment. It' s slowly dying. You can smell the impact of what' s happening . . . ' Grant Rigney, Ngarrindgeri NationRichard Beasley is fed up. He' s fed up with vested interests killing off Australia' s most precious water resource. He' s fed up with the cowardice and negligence that has allowed Big Agriculture and irrigators to destroy a river system that can sustain both the environment and the communities that depend on it. He' s fed up that a noble plan to save Murray-Darling Basin based on the ' best scientific knowledge' has instead been corroded by lies, the denial of climate change, pseudoscience and political expediency. He pulls no punches. He' s provocative, he' s outrageous, he points the finger without shame. And he will leave you very, very angry. Dead in the Water is political satire of the highest order . . . if weren' t all so tragically true.
Richard Beasley is a Senior Counsel at the Sydney Bar. He was the Counsel Assisting the Murray-Darling Basin Plan Royal Commission, established by the South Australian Weatherill Government in 2018 and conducted by Bret Walker SC. Apart from that, he is the author of five commercial novels, the best-known of which is Hell Has Harbour Views, which was adapted for TV and screened by the ABC, starring Lisa McCune and Matt Day.
