Climate change scientists and Hunter locals say no to Tillegra Dam

Controversy is growing over the proposed Tillegra Dam as climate scientists reveal predictions that challenge state planning. The NSW Government and the Hunter Water Corporation are defending the construction as a measure for future drought security. But scientists say climate change will bring higher rainfall and less chance of drought to the region.

Speakers:

• Karen Blackmore - Research Fellow at the Centre for Climate Risk
• Kevin Young - Managing Director of the Hunter Water Corporation
• Macquarie University
• Sally Corbett - spokesperson for the No Tillegra Dam Group
