Chapter 1 - Overview

[1]        Following machinery-of-government changes in September 2015, amendments to the Administrative Arrangements Orders gave responsibility for water policy and resources to the Department of the Agriculture, creating the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources. As such, the committee became responsible for examining the Agriculture and Water Resources portfolio. In practical terms, this means the committee is now responsible for examining the annual reports of the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, a task previously undertaken by the Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee.
