Brumby's 50-year water strategy to win back northern Vic
ATTEMPTS to correct an ''appalling'' performance on water policy will begin this morning, when the Brumby Government tries to win back the people of northern Victoria with a 50-year water strategy.
Publication of the strategy comes just weeks after a Saulwick poll found country voters believed Labor had done an appalling job on water policy.
The strategy reveals Victoria's stance on a host of Murray River issues, and will declare that protection of existing water entitlements will be a critical issue.
The strategy vows to enhance the licensing of dams on farms - subject to a review by Water Minister Tim Holding.
