Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Senator Matthew Canavan about climate predictions made while federal treasurer Jim Chalmers attended a National Drought Forum in Rockhampton. New modelling from the federal government shows that our country could lose $1.8 billion per year over the next four years, due to reduced production of farming crops. Senator Canavan made the point that the Australian government should be quickly building dams if they are predicting bigger drought seasons.  "Why did Jim Chalmers, in his first budget, cut all the funding to build dams?" Senator Canavan said, "So the solution seems to be to shut everything down... to fight this climate change thing."
