| kaylene gerster, Blackburn, Victoria | |
| Roger Gillon, Merrigum, Victoria | Restore the lower lakes enviroment to it's original state. This would secure Adelaide and Fleurieu Penninsula water supply with the installation of a loch at Wellington. |
| furio frank, Keilor Park, Victoria | Another green idiocity, It is about time real science was taught in schools and universitues instead of enviromentally skewed propaganda |

| John McGrath, Portland, Victoria | I would like to see more deep dams built upstream. |
| John Seidel, Walla Walla, New South Wales | Let us have a balanced debate about water allocation. Why destroy country towns? Why is the car industry subsidised? There is a double standard here. |
| hayden lunn, Finley, New South Wales | |
| Tanya Cameron, Rowena, New South Wales | |
| Robert Stewart, Lameroo, South Australia | The present flooding of NSW and Vic catchments are reminder of the failure to waterproof the nation for periods of drought. The present volume will exceed the downstream flood of 1921,1956 and 1972. Build storage before the next flood. |
| Geoffrey Forryan, Tongala, Victoria | do not take our water and kill our area |
| Dorothy Ricci, Williamstown, Victoria | Please note the early writings of explorers, scientists, poets, aboriginals, farmers,and settlers. Judgments to appease politicians have no value. |

| Olive Overs, Nericon, New South Wales | |
| Rick Ifield, Leeton, New South Wales | If we are so worried about the environmental flows the first priority should be to return the lower lakes of the Coorong to their original environment by demolishing the Barrages. |
| Grahme fitzsimon, Leeton, New South Wales | Build more DAM storage |
| gary sneddon, E Burwood, Victoria | |
| ross goodman, ascot vale, Victoria | |
| Wendy Protheroe, LEETON, New South Wales | As citrus farmers, the outcome of the MDB plan is of utmost importance to us. We believe restoring the River Murray's Estuary will free up more water further inland in the food bowl of Australia (the MIA). |
| Hilary Spear, Melbourne, Victoria | |
| Ilana Leeds, Caulfield North, Victoria | |
| Matthew Linn, MITCHAM, South Australia | A subject which requires more scientific evaluation including how to ptovide fresh water to those who utlise it from the lakes at present |
| Terry Dwyer, PEARCE, ACT | It is ridiculous that we are paying to waste freshwater when sea water could be costlessly desalinated for us by the sun. |
| Sidney Reynolds, Coolah, New South Wales | |
| Tom Bostock, Hawthorn, Victoria | Historically, the Murray petered out in an estuary. The barages are an example of how prone political measues intended to achieve an environmental outcome, evenn when they achieve that outcome, create other environmental problems. |
| Victor Eddy, Mildura, Victoria | |
| John Ibbotson, Gulmarrad, New South Wales | In the MDBA The Proposed Basin Plan Lakes Alexandrina and Albert and the Murray Mouth are basically ignored even though they annually need the Hume Dam plus to keep them fresh Get a copy of the plan from MDBA on CD and make a submission |
| Peter Stuart, Perry Bridge, Victoria | |
| Alexander Stuart, Narrabeen, New South Wales | Roughly half (2000 gigalitres out of close to 4000 gigalitres) of water to be repurchased under the MDB plan will go to keep the lower lakes at the Murray's mouth in fresh water. This is plainly knuckleheaded. The answer is to remove the barrages. |
| Brian Wawn, Hawthorn, Victoria | |
| Eric Campbell, Armidale, New South Wales | |
| VIKI DALLA, GRIFFITH, New South Wales | We must be the only country in the world trying to desalinate the sea...this is a case of politics over the national good. Why are we jepardising the food bowl of our nation to keep a river mouth in fresh water?Divert water from up north -a win-win. |
| Gavan landini, Port Macquarie, New South Wales | If they are worried about loss of tourism .Just look at how Mallacoota salt lakes are thriving without the waist of evaporated fresh water. |
| Ian Blight, Willbriggie, New South Wales | The only reason the L.Lakes are intensionly left out ofMDBP is so thepeople of Adle. can play with their boats in the huge marina style developements based around Victor Hbr/HindmarshIs.The water level mustbe keptat about0.75m todothis google map it |

| Pamela Wettenhall, lindifferon, New South Wales | |
| David Landini, Wakool, New South Wales | The MDBA ignoring the affect of the artificial freshwater of Lake Alexandrina, the barrages restricting tidal flow through the Murray mouth, and the nonsensical demands for more fresh river water, is like a chef ignoring an elephant in the kitchen. |
| Malcolm Pritchard, Hillston, New South Wales | |
| Ben Schaefer, Forbes, New South Wales | |
| Charles Bishop, Griffith, New South Wales | The best way to fix the lower murray and the coorong is to remove the barrer at the mouth of the murray and let the sea water back into the coorong as it was when the move STORM BOY WAS MADE.as that was always how the coorong lakes were before man. |

| John Nethery, Chillagoe, Queensland | Myopia is very common in political circles, partly due to the fact the the public service advisors have a very limited perspective towards the green section of the spectrum |

| Colin Ely, Blackburn North, Victoria | |
| Joanne Rea, Kunwarara, Queensland | Environmental policy makers seem to be incapable of observing the ebb and flow of nature over a long period. They wish to take a snapshot of what they only, regard as pristine and put a glass casing over it. Independent, scientific opionion is rare. |
| Cate Stuart, Charleville, Queensland | From the head of the MDB map you have, that is MY property - Govt, listen to the people and the history - |

| Ebony Jackson, Mount Gambier, South Australia | |
| Joan Turnour, Noosaville, Queensland | The Noosa River has an estuary that functions. Pity about the Murray. |
| Rae Jones, Summer Hill, New South Wales | I grew up in Broken Hill and know the Darling well. If the river system doesn't have a full flow then the river and the produce supported by it, is doomed. |
| John McKerral, Batemans Bay, New South Wales | |
| noel porter, colac, Victoria | get some comonsense back into our water management plans .The current mdbp and wild rivers strategies are bollocks,. |
