Australia's Salinity Crisis
This week the Federal Government announced a 7 year plan to address
Australia's salinity problems under the banner of a Salinity and Water
Quality package. Currently it's estimated that 2.5 million hectares across
Australia are detrimentally affected by salinity and this is expected to
drastically increase over the coming 30 years. Today we hear from Tim
Fisher, Land and Water Ecosystems Coordinator with the Australian
Conservation Foundation, as well as Dr John Williams of the Land and Water
division at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industral Research Organisation
(CSIRO) speaking about the significance of Australia's salinity problem and
the changes that we face.

destination and place of envrionmental wealth - it's less well known as a

major environmental disaster". Today we hear from Jeremy Tager from the
North Queensland Conservation Council.
