Abstract
Over the course of its settler colonial history, Australia has seen significant change in the ways in which rights to water and responsibilities for its management have been conceived and applied. At common law, water has long been considered a ‘resource’ belonging to no-one but also accessible to those in possession of riparian land. More recently under neoliberal governance regimes, private or individualised property relations have been privileged to enable market exchanges of water. The separation of land and water titles further divides and isolates as well as abstracts water from place, people, and other animals.
