Australian Government Wants to Fast-track Water Reform
Water has been badly managed in Australia and the Federal Government wants to fast-track reform, Treasurer Peter Costello said.
"Water, I think, has not been managed well in this country, it's traditionally been an area of state responsibility and the results are there for everybody to see," Mr Costello told Macquarie Radio.
"The Federal Government is prepared to give national leadership and I think we can make a big improvement."
"Our biggest problem to date, is that in order to do this you have to get agreement from eight states and territories," as reported by the AAP and published by News.com.au.
