ECan's incompetence has led to the death of hundreds of fish, eels and fresh water crays. Farmers have been warning about this disaster for weeks, while ECan twiddled their fingers.

Publicity showing the largely dead creek caused a sudden ECan u-turn today.

Too little, too late.

@BobLefridge National's 2010 putsch is the gift that keeps on giving.
@BobLefridge all these farmers reckon they could have put water in there at any time, and had in previous years; what was stopping them exactly?
