Royal commission counsel also says officials tried to lean on CSIRO to reduce water recovered for the environment
The Murray-Darling Basin Authority has been accused of maladministration, deliberately ignoring the best science on the river, leaning on the CSIRO to alter reports on the adequacy of the basin plan and ignoring the impact of climate change in its future planning.
