Queensland Farmers forced to cough up for Qld govt Water Management plan

Farmers in Queensland will be forced to cough up for Qld govt water management plan Queensland farmers will be charged up to $100,000 to install water meters under a new plan to manage the state's water supply.

The Palaszczuk Government wanted water licence holders to install water meters and data loggers to send live measurements to bureaucrats to monitor the state's water take. Farmers said the meters would be measuring dry river beds and were a waste of money.

A consultation paper revealed the cost of installation, maintenance and operation for the mandatory loggers would fall on farmers. Under the plan, the government said people who unfairly took water beyond their entitlement would be held accountable.

Its happened in the South and now they are going for the Queensland Farmers.  Our Governments are dead set determined to rid farming.
