Misty was right was on the right track.

Quote from article that covered it.

"THE Howard Government is facing a Victorian revolt — including from within Coalition ranks — over a radical plan to take water from irrigators to keep in reserve for South Australia.
Premier John Brumby said the proposal was "scandalous," particularly when Victorian irrigators were on their lowest water allocations.
He said he had told Prime Minister John Howard in writing that Victoria would not agree to the plan — contained in a grim report on the Murray-Darling Basin, which stressed the need for immediate action to protect communities and ecosystems.
Mr Brumby was backed by Opposition Leader Ted Baillieu, Victorian Nationals leader Peter Ryan, the Victorian Farmers Federation and irrigators' groups."
