The north south pipeline is environmental vandalism. Fancy taking water from the dying Murray-Darling and diverting it over the Great Divide to Melbourne.
Irrigation will probably never be the same as it was when it was first set up - it's quite likely there will not be enough water and it's going to get even more difficult to resolve this in the future.
I've no problem with covering the channels - that has to be done. The rest of it is robbing Peter to pay Paul.
