Lack of water in the Murray-Darling Basin caused problems for towns in New South Wales who had little or no drinking water. Discussion raged about where responsibility lay: with the drought, the irrigators and farmers extracting water from the rivers, the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, or all three. In the background of the cartoon Pat Campbell includes the Murray-Darling Viewing Tower at the junction of the two rivers.
