WATER
No matter who we are, where we are, and what we do, we are all dependent on water. We need it to stay healthy; we need it for growing food, for transportation, irrigation and industry. 2003 is the year to talk seriously about protecting and respecting our scarce water resources.
Debate Chair will be Festival of Ideas founder, Greg Mackie. He will pose a few critical questions about water to The Hon John Hill, Minister for the Murray, Prof Jennifer McKay, UniSA expert in water policy, and Tom Trevorrow, Manager of Camp Coorong, Race Relations and Cultural Education Centre, at Meningie, before throwing open the forum for audience questions.
Presented by the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre at UniSA in association with the International Human Rights Day SA Planning Committee
