POLITICS, PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY IMPERILLED

THE RURAL SECTOR is a major contributor to our country's economic wealth. But dating back some 40 years the sector has ignored warnings of its role in an environmental disaster in the making.

Now, the reality has arrived in full measure to haunt us all. The problem is huge. The question is not what we can do about it, but what we must do about it. The solutions are resisted by many whose vision does not extend beyond the short term. Indeed, the solutions are vehemently rejected by some.

Just knowing that our clean, vibrant rivers or streams are there has significance for people of all ages and ethnicities. They are an implicit part of who we are; something we don't even think about, until they have been taken from us. The fouling of our waters is demeaning and erodes our pride in self and place

The time is well overdue for our politicians to grasp the nettle and lead us towards a sustainable future. It is unthinkable that we pass on to our grandchildren and theirs a country marked by such inadequate stewardship.
