flag NSW MP Helen Dalton demands a royal commission over Murray-Darling water mismanagement, citing environmental collapse and systemic failures.

flag NSW MP Helen Dalton is calling for a federal royal commission to investigate water mismanagement in the Murray-Darling Basin, citing environmental collapse, including the Lower Murray’s critically endangered status, and systemic failures. flag She blames both federal and state governments for wasting water and endangering rural communities, arguing an independent inquiry is needed to end waste and ensure accountability. flag Farmers support the push for reliable water access. flag While the federal government says the Basin Plan is delivering progress in environmental recovery and points to upcoming reviews as reform opportunities, a recent assessment shows only 170GL of water secured toward a 450GL 2027 target, with $1.3 billion still needed. flag Starting July 2026, NSW’s Energy and Water Ombudsman will handle irrigation customer complaints on billing, metering, and service.
