As pointed out by others the article talks about water use not climate change:

"At Menindee, 830 km west of Sydney, despair has turned to anger as residents blame the government for exacerbating the drought by drawing down river water in 2017 for irrigation and other uses downstream."

The article heavily insinuates climate change and will certainly be categorised as a climate change piece in the minds of most readers.

Especially in Australia where 'drought' === 'climate change' === 'farmer issues'.
