We encourage people to register to attend this meeting to try to work out how governments can be even considering the Fingerboards mine when water levels are decreasing.
Farmers and horticulturalists contribute to food security but will have to compete with an necessary mine that is going to put our sustainable agriculture at risk.
The Fingerboards Mine will decrease flows to the Mitchell River and will reduce environmental flows to the already stressed Gippsland Lakes. What are they thinking?
