Victoria's shadow water minister called on the state minister to oppose buybacks (purchasing water entitlements from farmers) at the next ministerial meeting of the Murray Darling Basin state and territory ministers.

In a statement provided to FlowFM, water minister Harriet Shing said:
“Victoria does not support buybacks – our regional communities have been dealing with the impacts from previous Commonwealth buybacks for over a decade.”
“We will continue to work in the best interest of Victorians by allowing for improved environmental outcomes through on-ground works and delivering water by upgrading inefficient systems.”
“We will work with the Commonwealth Government and other jurisdictions at the upcoming ministerial council meeting to ensure our Basin Plan obligations are met without any negative social, economic and environmental outcomes in Victoria.”
