The Coalition government is moving 76 (of 288) Murray Darling Basin Authority jobs from Canberra to the bush. Staff could face a choice between Mildura, Griffith, Murray Bridge, or a town yet to be announced.
The main public sector union warned the Murray Darling Basin Authority had been in Canberra as a neutral location to manage the river system in the interests of all Australians, rather than the self-interested agendas of a few.

Comment:
- The 76 will have to face townspeople in the regions who are impacted by their decisions.
- Hard to see how anyone wouldn’t welcome the move as Canberra is artificial and boring & expensive
