Submission in response to the Productivity Commission Issues Paper ‘Australia’s Urban Water Sector’

This submission focuses on answering three key questions: What objectives should governments have for the urban water sector? What are the impediments to achieving those objectives? Is there a strong case for reforming Australia’s urban water sector? It examines these questions in the interests of low income earners and people who are disadvantaged and is written in the context of recent radical reforms in the Tasmanian water and sewerage sector.
