State government backs down on water charge ...

From ABC News:

Farmers welcome suspended water charges

Farmers and irrigators are celebrating after the Queensland Government decided to suspend its new water management charges.

Irrigators across the state were boycotting the $4-a-megalitre fee, which was devised to recover the cost of implementing water policy.

They were concerned the charges were a tax grab and were not transparent.
