I will try again to get an answer. Basin Communities Committee Indigenous member, Mr Feli McHughes, stated recently, 'I'm very concerned that buybacks will further spiral our people in these communities into poverty'. When will the government listen to basin communities and voices like Mr McHughes's, and look at alternatives being proposed, like billabong restoration and complementary measures?
