I read through their urban water policy the: other day with interest too, I think after they did their media release for it. I thought it interesting that they targetted industrial usage of water for conservation. IIRC in Sydney that accounts for 50% of urban usage. Presumably it is restaurants, hotels etc as well as factories.
Plenty mentions of regulation, no mention of market approaches to water. Ironically, if the Greens did adopt a market approach to water it might make some of the more unsustainable agricultural industries and practices uneconomical.
But yeh, well done Qld Greens on this issue.
