## Resource

Water flows to parched New South Wales wetlands could resume within weeks after a key bill passed in the upper house, addressing legal hurdles that halted water releases and triggered a wildlife crisis. The bill, supported by the Greens and independents, shields WaterNSW from lawsuit risks on all water releases. As the state experiences its second driest April ever, the Murray-Darling Basin faces severe drought, leading to mass wildlife deaths and displacement. The bill now heads to the lower house, aiming to restore water flows and prevent further ecological disaster. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
