Remember when @Barnaby_Joyce paid $80m for water from a company founded by @AngusTaylorMP, after the @DeptAgNews had bargained the price *up*?

This all began with @MaryanneSlatte1 and my report on the purchase, showing the:
"original asking price was $2,200/ML. @DeptAgNews displayed Pythonesque haggling skills and paid a final price of $2,745/ML." https://www.tai.org.au/content/thats-not-how-you-haggle

If you don't get the Python gag, it's this scene where Brian won't haggle for his beard.
But there was so much more, like the $78 million paid to Chris Corrigan's Webster Ltd, including $40m in compo that *no one* else in the Basin has received. https://www.tai.org.au/content/ill-have-what-theyre-having

Ah, so many good times. There was @RonniSalt 's infamous thread that brought legal threats from @AngusTaylorMP. What happened to all that, Angus? https://www.buzzfeed.com/lanesainty/angus-taylor-defamation-journalists
Who could forget @hamishNews's report on this for @theprojecttv with @MaryanneSlatte1 , @MichaelWestBiz and @GraftonQuentin.
Anyway, tomorrow is a big day for transparency and accountability in our biggest river system.
