Greens Want Water Changes Applied Retrospectively

The Conservation Council says any changes to the State Government's 'first in first served' water policy should apply retrospectively.
The Water Minister Bill Marmion announced a review of the policy after a backlash from farmers in the Mid West.
They were angry Gindalbie Metals had been granted a licence to draw five gigalitres, or five billion litres, of water from the Mingenew aquifer.
Mr Marmion says all policy options will be considered but the changes will not apply retrospectively.
