Bringing the Water Act into the 21st Century
It’s time we got our Act together
On Saturday I was in the foothills of the the Great Diving Range, just outside Seymour at Commonground – a fabulous meeting venue for talking about and planning for change.
We were joined by rivers advocates from across the state, who came to hear more about our work to improve the Victorian Water Act so that it actually protects Victoria’s freshwater ecosystems.

A little drop of water goes a long way
Environmental Water and the new River Red Gum parks
Well, I’m six months into my stint here as Healthy Rivers campaigner working to Rescue Our Rivers.
I’ve been helping to draw up policies that will help give our rivers a drink. We’ve been talking to all and sundry up on Spring Street about the water crisis facing Victorians, and the messages we’re getting back are varied.

Walk Against Warming 2010
Walk with the people. Not the big polluters.
We’re doing our bit on climate change. It’s time to make our government do theirs.
There’s a federal election on its way. Yet both major parties falling way behind the community on climate issues and Victorian voters have reason to feel somewhat abandoned by their leaders.
With so much at stake, it’s time for the community to put real climate action back on the election agenda.
