This proposal has three components.

• Component 1 would conduct an independent audit into taxpayer funding for water recovery projects under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.
• Component 2 would provide $60 million for a Royal Commission into the administration of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, which would run for two years from 2019-20.
• Component 3 would work with state governments to fully implement all recommendations of the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission.

The proposal would commence on 1 July 2019.
