Story summary

South Australian federal MPs and senators met in Canberra to urge the federal government to fully implement the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, which aims to restore water levels in the basin after decades of overuse. The politicians were joined by the Murray-Darling Conservation Alliance, an environmental group advocating for increased water buybacks from farmers to replenish river systems. However, this stance contrasts with the broader Liberal Party's opposition to such measures. It remains unclear how the federal government will address any shortfalls in the plan's funding and execution.
