The Basin Plan should be about outcomes not numbers.
It’s the constant talk about numbers that make it binary, your either for it or against it. This feeds division.
Talk outcomes and you’ll see we all want healthy working rivers.
We just might have different ways to get there. https://t.co/y1kknchy3P

2750GL Basin Plan water recovery target is largely driven by MDBA model saying it's needed to keep lower lakes fresh & above sea level. But in practice, 2100GL already recovered was enough to keep lakes fresh & above sea level in severe drought conditions in 2019-20. #factsmatter

@sarahinthesen8 In late 2009, severe drought across Basin left lower lakes half empty with high salinity. In late 2019, in a similar drought, 2100GL recovered from irrigators under Basin Plan kept lakes above sea level & met salinity KPIs. BP should be whether outcomes are achieved, not numbers.

@naturensw No one's asking for a blanket exemption for floodplain harvesting. We and our members support its reduction, licensing and metering so that all water take is within Cap and consistent with Basin Plan sustainable limits.
