Did no-one else see the 7:30 Report on the Snowy River?  When I
discovered that this once-mighty river is now a sterile creek, I was
shocked.  Shocked even more when I learned that the whole Snowy hydro
scheme is to be PRIVATISED in about six months.
I don't know a lot about this, but it seems pretty obvious that we
need to act now. 
The flow of the river has been reduced to one percent.  According to
the 7:30 report, it needs to be at least 25% in order to bring some
life back to it.
