A million fish die on the Lower Darling
Please write to your politicians to save the Lower Darling
On January 6, 2019, approximately 1 million fish have died on the Lower Darling at the Menindee Lakes. The fish have died because the little bit of stagnant water that remains is toxic and deoxygenated the water. Its an environmental disaster that is man-made.
Our politicians continue to ignore the reasons this disaster has happened. Please make sure they know you care, and will consider their response in the upcoming Federal and NSW elections. We have a message we would like you to send them - Please download the letter and send to your local Member of Parliament, the Prime Minister, and if you live in NSW, the Premier! You can also send to politicians in leadership from all parties.
You can amend the letter, or just add your politician's & your name and send.

If this suite of projects is not stopped by the Senate, it will allow the NSW Government to go ahead with this devastating project.
