The Barnaby Joyce and Angus Taylor water scandal is back in focus, seven years after Michael West Media helped expose the $80 million water buyback linked to a Cayman Islands company. The deal, signed off under Barnaby Joyce, involved water rights sold at a record price through a company connected to Angus Taylor, with questions still unresolved about who ultimately benefited and why taxpayers paid so much for assets critics argued were of little environmental value.
As the issue makes a brief mention in parliament, so do the unanswered questions about secrecy, political protection, and why no serious investigation has followed. 
Happy 7 year anniversary of the story
