  • Summary

  • "This is the worst man-made environmental disaster in Australian history" - fourth generation farmer, Rob McBride.

    At the start of 2019, one million fish died in the lower Darling river, catapulting the plight of the Murray Darling Basin river system to headline news across the country. But how did it get to this?

    In this episode, discover how one whistleblower, supported with a job and a team at the Australia Institute, interprets the water bureaucratese and puts it into plain English for river communities, politicians, journalists and farmers and created a body of research that uncovers exactly how Australia stuffed up a $13 billion public policy.
