„Aber zuerst frisst du die Erdnüsse aus meiner Scheisse!“ Das wehrkraftzersetzende Gespräch* vier ranghoher Generalfeldwebeln unserer Streitkräfte, dessen Mitschnitt gestern publik geworden ist, hat uns zutiefst schockiert. * Wörtliche Zitate: „Jut, alles klar.“ +++ „Ich weiß, wie es die Engländer machen. Die machen es komplett im Reachback. Die haben auch paar Leute vor Ort. (...) Ja, Hergott, die würden auch den Ukrainern beim Taurus-Loading über die Schulter gucken.“ +++ „Und das Zwote ist natürlich, wir können die Zeit auch nicht verkürzen, wenn es nach einem Falscheinsatz geht und das Ding auf ‘nen Kindergarten drauffällt und es zivile Opfer gibt.“ +++ „Frage der Schnittstelle: Wie hängt man das an welches Waffensystem dran? Müsste dann irgendein Bastler aus der Ukraine mit der Firma machen, weil (...) oder, Herr Fenske, oder? (...) Da ham wir ja keine Aktien drin, wenn es in die Integration in Su z.B. geht.“ +++ „Aber da müssen halt dann so rudimentäre Sachen gemacht werden, das deutsche Hoheitsabzeichen runter und so...“ +++ „Also, die sind teilweise in einer Kriegführung unterwegs, die mehr Hightech ist wie unsere gute alte Luftwaffe. (...) Aber jetzt will ich natürlich auch mal, Kamerad Fenske, Frostedt, einfach von euch mal euer Picture sehen.“ +++ „Wenn man jetzt politisch Sorge hätte, dass diese Linie von Büchel direkt nach Ukraine eine zu direkte Beteiligung ist, (...) könnte man dann auch sagen: Okay, das Datenfile wird bei MDBA gemacht und wir schicken unsere ein, zwei Expörts nach Schrobenhausen. Ist zwar totaler Schwachsinn (...), aber wenn der Datenfile von der Industrie kommt, wird er... der kommt ja bei uns nicht aus dem Verband.“ +++ „Stell dir mal vor, das kommt an die Presse!“ +++ „Kann man im Grunde genommen den Trick pullen, dass man unsere Leute abstellt zu MBDA, dass nur eine Direct Line zwischen der MBDA und der Ukraine ist. Dann ist es weniger schlimm, wie wenn die Direct Line unserer Luftwaffe zu ihnen ist.“ +++ „Geht's um die Brücke oder geht's um Mun-Depot – ist es reachable mit den current Caps? (...) Joaaa, thatt being sätt. Da wo ich drauf kommen wollte, ist, dass der C10 vom Taurus nicht ausreicht, um die einfach so zu targetten. +++ „Ja, ja, klar, das ist natürlich, dass uns klar sein muss, das wird nicht den Krieg ändern.“ +++ „Dann bedanke ich mich für die Runde und wünsche jeden frohes Schaffen.“ +++ „Also Ciao Kakau!“ Wir haben selten etwas Abstoßenderes gehört als dieses von ulkigen Musical-Amerikanismen durchsetzte technizistische Buchstabenstakkato, das in höchsten Bundeswehrkreisen offenbar gewohnheitsmäßig verwendet wird. Thatt being sätt. Militarismus sollte schon aus stilistischen Gründen verboten sein. PS: Luftwaffeninstallateur Gerhartz! Weggetreten!! Wo kein Schnee liegt, darf gelaufen werden!!!

As the federal government admit the $13 billion Murray-Darling Basin Plan will not be completed on time, the Conversation Hour explores the changing fortunes of the Murray Cod - and how a fine-dining renaissance might help its survival.

Native fish in Australia have been fighting tooth and fin for survival and its time we paid attention. On this episode of OzCast Out of Sight Out of Mind, Australia's authority on endangered freshwater fish and invasive species Mark Lintermans takes us through the ins and outs of the history and problems facing some of our little-known freshwater fish that are struggling to survive. In particular, the trout cod Maccullochella macquariensis and stocky galaxias, Galaxias tantangara.   Mark Lintermans is considered a leading expert in Australian freshwater ecology and fish conservation in Australia and has received several awards for his contributions in the field. He is the author of more than 300 books and articles on the subject. This podcast takes listeners on a journey through the history of some of these unknown species, and their journey to discovery and now survival in Australia.   Surprisingly, Mark tells listeners that it wasn't until the late 1970s, that trout cod were known as a species. And we still only have a very limited understanding of small-bodied species like the stocky galaxias. Offering personal anecdotes about his role in the discovery of these species, Mark explains how long we have to go to completely understand the needs of freshwater fish in Australia.  Mark, known to many simply as ‘Linto', first developed his passion for fish as a child through snorkelling and spearfishing with his dad around the rock platforms in Western Port Bay in Victoria. Since the early 1980s, he has specialised in the study of freshwater fish, specialising in the ecology and management of threatened fish; the impacts of introduced fish; and how to manage the major threats to freshwater habitats and their fauna. His career has centred around the fish of the Murray-Darling Basin, but he has also conducted research in the Wet Tropics, Edgbaston Springs, and the Tanami Desert (yes, there are fish in the Tanami).  Mark began his professional career in 1982 working for the ACT Parks and Conservation Service on a range of terrestrially-focused projects but soon worked his way to his love affair with native fish. That's when Mark embarked on a remarkable life journey dedicated to understanding and conserving Australia's freshwater ecosystems. After a long involvement with Murray-Darling Basin fishery, including work on native trout cod, Macquarie perch, Two-spined blackfish and introduced redfin perch, trout and oriental weatherloach, he branched out to become a part-time consultant to the Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC, now MDBA).   Mark's expertise in the field quickly garnered recognition, and he soon became known for his ground-breaking research on the ecology and conservation of native fish species. His work primarily focused on understanding the factors affecting the decline of endangered and vulnerable species, which forms the focus of this OzCast.   In this episode, Mark discusses the plight of the trout cod - Maccullochella macquariensis within Australian river systems. He explains that while we can assume what happened after their discovery, the fact we thought they were a Murray cod until the 1970s meant that very little research was conducted on the species. Mark found that the trout cod abundance was undermined by the heavy exploitation of our rivers, the use of nets and traps and habitat destruction and pollution. By the early 20th century, trout cod populations had dramatically decreased and the species was on the brink of extinction.  Throughout his career, Mark has conducted extensive fieldwork, often venturing into remote and challenging environments to study and document the intricacies of freshwater ecosystems. Recently he has been researching the ecology of two of Australia newest threatened fish: the stocky galaxias and short-tail galaxias (both only formally described as species in 2014 and listed as threatened in 2022 and 2023 respectively). He has contributed to national reviews of conservation monitoring of threatened Australian fauna; coordinated and led the IUCN Red List assessment of all Australian freshwater fish; led the identification of the most imperilled Australian freshwater fish; and was part of the national team prioritising species for immediate conservation action following the 2019-20 fires in eastern Australia.   One of his focus areas has been the endangered stocky galaxias and the threat it faces from trout and wild horses. Mark, who spends most of his time in the field, explains in this episode that more attention needs to be given to these ‘forgotten' fish. Throughout the hour interview, Mark outlines the importance of small-bodied fish to our ecosystems and runs us through a step-by-step progress to protecting them going forward.  Mark Lintermans' unwavering dedication to the conservation of aquatic ecosystems and his profound contributions to fisheries ecology makes this episode of OzCast one not to miss.  

The State Opposition say their efforts to promote practical solutions based on local feedback have in some instances been accepted by the South Australian government, whilst also pushing for more frequent SA inflow updates for River Murray communities after the Premier told FlowFM there were inconsistencies between the MDBA and BOM modelling.

'Too little, too late' is the refrain from the NSW Farmers' Conservation and Resource Management Committee chair Louise Burge after the MDBA announced on Friday 23 September 2022 it would immediately increase Hume Dam releases https://www.mdba.gov.au/news-media-events/newsroom/media-centre/releases-hume-dam-increase-create-more-airspace - a day after the QEII Memorial Day call from the farming association that Dam levels were being maintained based on drought-era thinking https://mailchi.mp/nswfarmers/governments-risk-repeated-preventable-flooding?e=65ae4b78e7

In a major overhaul of Murray Darling Basin Management, the Federal Government is working to replace the MDBA with a new statutory office and end water buybacks. The 'Murray–Darling Communities Investment Package (https://www.agriculture.gov.au/water/mdb/water-investment-package) ' is being spruiked as way for the community to move forward and get the most out of the Murray Darling Basin Plan Member for Barker Tony Pasin joins Jennie Lenman to discuss.

Tougher border measures have come into effect that make it much harder to cross into SA. Member for Barker Tony Pasin has been calling on his State Government counterparts to soften the restrictions so that the health and livelihoods of cross-border communities are no longer being jeapordised. Mr Pasin joins Jennie Lenman to talk about this and some good news for Murray River communities in receiving MDBA funding.

MDBA says it will take months to evaluate the NSW water sharing plans to see if they are compatible with the plan

Topher Field has been doing a brilliant job for a long time covering the MDBA and the mismanagement of water.  His 4 part video series has over 1 million views.  He premiered his latest video called "Blood in the Water" last night in Griffith, Seany spoke to Topher about the video and also the  "can the plan" convoy to Canberra happening on the 2nd and 3rd of December. 

A number of New South Wales farmers will be investigated after satellite imaging showed their dams were filled during a pumping embargo in part of the Murray Darling Basin.

Topher Field is the voice a lot of farmers need, he's doing a great job and making some much needed noise.  Seany checked in with to see how things are going since the Tocumwal Rally and Topher said "We may have to march on Canberra at some point". 

You may have seen Topher Field's Facebook video series about the MDBA.  There's a "Fix The Basin Plan" rally coming up in Tocumwal on the 5th of September that Topher is a part of, Seany spoke to him to find out a bit more about it.   

The MDBA is looking at installing aerators in targeted spots along the Lower Darling to reduce fish deaths this summer; smaller rural businesses might be able to benefit from the proposed Landmark-RuralCo merger, according to a rural retailer organisation; and South Australia's Ag Bureau is still important despite some closures.

In this second episode of Finding the Middle Ground, Hayley, Lloyd and Katrina discuss what "engagement" means and why organisations would seek to engage. They look at how the MDBA have engaged with our community and how well they have gone with that process. They also discuss the class action that has been touted in this region in relation to the MDBA and take a look at what a class action is and what other types have class actions have been successful in the past. It's an interesting discussion that highlights the ongoing complexities in this space and opens up the discussion.Throughout the episode your hosts reference some different things here are the links:Lloyd:Lloyd reference Bill Johnsons work on River Ecology:https://www.theland.com.au/story/6242396/water-crunch-on-the-horizon/?fbclid=IwAR1P86dwu50eVDb2hd6LsSC-UZNTgM4Lf-feTeungD-IN1XWKGlz73Xwvu8Hayley:Hayley gave us some background on class actions:What is a class action and how does it work?https://legalvision.com.au/class-action-work/?fbclid=IwAR0Q9ii2XI8-MpmnIsZWhkV4SHcZg8sJJuc8Hml1aSxAzX5LkDLEQvAJRUIHayley discussed the largest class action in Australia following the Black Saturday fires:https://www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2018-12/kilmore_east_-_kinglake_murrindindi_-_marysville_black_saturday_class__0.pdf?fbclid=IwAR17jhRnBfaTcg6XWOFq4ApOxD703-l2aHpKKlz2J_Ytc1LCY-XSk1mrXPUKatrina:Katrina mentioned going to the MDBA website and looking at the River Operating plans and reviewing the publicly available information on River operations:https://www.mdba.gov.au/sites/default/files/pubs/River-%20Murray-system-annual-operating-plan-2018-19.pdfGeneral references around community engagementhttps://www.beckyhirstconsulting.com.au/2013/03/lets-talk-about-failure/?fbclid=IwAR1GXSoxiD3I3bmPmQuCJodtJSjHh8h2881eWECRgIYM9c2_CjhrLuJZpjkhttp://www.tamarackcommunity.ca/latest/top-10-community-engagement-questions?fbclid=IwAR0EY37Byi5rMRc_pCpcaBZEWQxcrteYNhizVSiStP3UZ8SAOummCXFNtJwhttp://www.thecommunitystudio.com/2017/11/22/4-bad-community-stakeholder-engagement-habits-holding-projects-back/?fbclid=IwAR2RNiIteliUzF2uAoepJuRlFRYXI3IhtagqRFlXIsboxyo_ZwdujHAme1Uhttps://indaily.com.au/opinion/2019/06/03/community-must-be-invited-along-path-to-reform/

Hayley, Katrina and Lloyd discuss the fallout from the Federal Election and unpick the election results and what they mean for our community, the Southern Riverina. We chat about how we're all feeling post election, why we think Kevin Mack was pitched against Sussan Ley, what happened and where to now.

Of all issues facing the nation right now, the future of the Murray Darling river system is near the top.  How is our most important river system going to feed a growing population? The Murray Darling Basin Authority is soon to release its landmark plan for how we manage the system. Fraser McLeod is executive director of the basin plan for the MDBA.
