AN estimated 5000 protestors converged at Goolwa yesterday (Sunday), demanding urgent action from the South Australian and Federal governments to save the River Murray and Lower Lakes.
Protesters condemned the absence of Premier Mike Rann, Water Minister Karlene Maywald, Federal Climate Change Minister and SA Senator Penny Wong and the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
The gathering was the latest in a series of recent protests and community rallies, with water and rural health both raising the ire of regional populations of late.
