How to improve collaboration, compliance and enforcement across the Murray Darling Basin with Des Pearson and Troy Grant

Troy Grant and Annabelle are joined by former Auditor General of Victoria and Western Australia, Des Pearson, who conducted a review into compliance and enforcement across the Murray Darling Basin. Des and Troy are honest and forthcoming with their views about the report, and provide an insight into how water can be better managed across the Basin; with a more consistent approach to water terminologies and water accounting. 

Des says in all his years of being an auditor and working in the public sector, the water space is unique in that there are so many inconsistencies with terminologies. Listen to how he thinks better collaboration between the Basin states could help resolve these issues.
