A dispute over water rights in Victoria’s far north-west has reached a critical point as authorities prepare to evict protesters. Campaigners have been camped out for weeks, opposing a project linked to the Murray Darling Basin Plan. The project has become a focal point in the ongoing debate surrounding the management of the Murray-Darling Basin. Protesters have accused authorities of “absolute disrespect” as bulldozers arrived near their encampment. The situation highlights the intense pressure and conflicting interests surrounding water resources in the region. The escalating conflict underscores the challenges in balancing environmental concerns, agricultural needs, and Indigenous rights within the Basin Plan framework. Further confrontation is anticipated as the eviction process moves forward.
