Murdoch Commission

The First Murdoch Commission - Themes of Inquiry

The First Murdoch Commission will pursue the issue of Western Australia’s future trajectory in the region over the next twenty-five years through the lens of four interrelated themes:
Economic prospects
Facilitation: Diplomacy and entrepreneurship
Services: Expertise and innovation
Resources: Security and sustainability

The first theme focuses on economic trends, the opportunities on offer as well as the various risks and pitfalls involved. The three subsequent themes focus on particular aspects of the current situation, identifying the specific parameters and challenges involved, and evaluating potential strategic responses.
