The Wire

Residents of Rathdownie in south eastern Queensland are ramping up their campaign against a dam planned for their area, a dam which they say would displace 3000 people and destroy a way of life. Local landowner Kathleen panitz says existing dams in the area have been dry for years and that another dam is not the solution to water shortages in the area. Campaign organiser John Robinson has called in Greens Senator Bob Brown, who will visit the area on the weekend and give the locals some tips on how to get their concerns noticed by the state government.
