Murray MP Helen Dalton says she wants a new parliamentary bill to create "some transparency with water ownership" within the water market at a federal and state level. Ms Dalton is trying to introduce a new bill to parliament that would see politicians forced to declare their water ownership and publish information on the water holdings of corporations. "We want to know who owns our water," Ms Dalton told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
Ms Dalton said the new bill would shed light on "not only politicians declaring their water interests, but also foreign companies, even foreign governments, traders even celebrities". "We have got water registers out there but it is very, very difficult to search, you search by a number rather than a name ... so you could be there looking for a needle in a haystack for ages," she said. "So this offers a more searchable database".
