  3. “We need to understand the reality in which we live, understand that in some parts there is going to be prolonged periods without water. What are we growing there? How are we using water there?” on how to deal with water in the future

  4. "We have 3,700 active bores across our local government area. That's one for every two square kilometres. That's a big draw on the groundwater. It's a finite resource." Tracie Dobie

  5. “Every water resource is finite. Just because you can't see bore water doesn't mean it will be there forever. We need to be careful with bore infrastructure because it can affect surface water.” James McTavish

  6. "I get a bit jack of these multinationals that are getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And, I don't deem it acceptable that huge amounts of public money, our taxpayer money, goes into these multinationals.” Mal Peters

  7. “We can do without cotton in this country until we've got more . And water shouldn't be sold off to these conglomerates that get big and bigger and buy up more water.” Sam Costanzo

  8. “My town is on the Murrumbidgee and I drink the reused water from upstream users. Every person who lives below us on the river is using a form of indirect potable reuse. We need to value wastewater as a resource.” James McTavish

  9. “The Murray-Darling Basin Plan says town use is top priority. Everything else is a descending scale from there. The problem is, when they did the modelling one of the ministers had the brilliant idea of disregarding the figures from the Millennium Drought.” Mal Peters

  11. “There’s no one solution to water security, but we need a bigger perspective than local government areas or states. We need to look at sharing between government areas.” Tracie Dobie

  12. "My farm's records say there's less rain. You’ve got scientists telling you is happening. I'm a businessman and I like to manage my risk, and you're a bloody idiot if you're not listening to them." Mal Peters on the impact of climate change on the drought

  13. "You can't really be angry because it's no one person's fault. It's mother nature doing its thing. Maybe previous councils should have thought about it. Who was to know the drought was going to go on for so long.” Sam Costanzo

  15. “From a perspective, you get up in the morning and, unlike people in the city, you don't interact with a whole heap of different people. You go out, look at your cattle get poorer, you get dust storms. That does get on top of you.” Mal Peters

  16. “We often joke in my family about how the farm got through in 1919 when they only had 212mm of rain. In 2018 we got that. And, last year we beat it by 50mm.” Mal Peters

  17. “In rural areas, there's a lot more disease, there’s less access to healthcare, and a lot of farmers present quite late to the doctor. When we layer drought over the top of that, they have other priorities so their own health becomes less important.” Dr Shannon Springer

  18. “Normally our droughts are signified by below-average rainfall. We are well bellow average rainfall, with no inflow into rainwater tanks or dams... It usually rains in summer in Queensland. We’ve had a number of consecutive summers with no rain.” Tracie Dobie
