After an independent assessment, the federal government is putting $70 million towards the Darling River to prevent further mass fish kills.


The federal government has committed $70 million to improve the health of the Darling River and prevent further mass fish kills.

Two massive fish kills in December and January prompted the government to commission an independent assessment, with the final report released on Wednesday.

Deakin University PhD student Giuditta Bonetti explains to SBS Italian how dire the situation is for the Darling River.
