Nationals MP Keith Pitt says Linda Burney’s plan to put water rights back in the hands of Indigenous Australians is a “transfer of wealth” that is “paid for by the taxpayer”. “I’m all for Aboriginal people being involved in building the economy, building businesses but why should the taxpayer have to do it and take that entitlement from our hardworking farmers who already hold those entitlements and who need them,” Mr Pitt told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
