Murray-Darling Basin royal commission report finds gross maladministration

The head of the royal commission into the Murray-Darling Basin plan has recommended a complete overhaul of the plan, including reallocating more water from irrigation to the environment.
 South Australia has released the royal commission’s report
into the Murray Darling Basin, pictured here at Louth in NSW.
The South Australian Murray-Darling Basin royal commission found the original plan ignored potentially “catastrophic” risks of climate change.

Bret Walker SC’s report also found commonwealth officials committed gross maladministration, negligence and unlawful actions in drawing up the multibillion-dollar deal to save Australia’s largest river system.
