'I’ll tell you one thing Labor could have done': Sussan Ley unleashes on government

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has unleashed on the Albanese government and Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek for “smashing” farmers in the Murray-Darling Basin with a water buy-back plan. “I’ll tell you one thing Labor could have done,” she told Sky News Australia when responding to reports Labor were reviewing supermarkets’ code of conduct. “And that is, not smash my farmers in the Murray-Darling Basin by taking water away from them. Ms Ley blasted the “ridiculous announcement” by Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek which “doesn’t recognise you need water to grow food”. “So, we are going to see less Australian-grown produce on our supermarket shelves and I wonder how much that is going to put up prices.”
