The New South Wales Irrigators Council is urging the federal government to pause further water buybacks on the Murray Darling Basin. 

The Inspector General of Water Compliance has carried out an audit into the plan, finding probity issues with the development and roll out of earlier tenders. 

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Chief Executive Claire Miller, who is calling for a halt in future tenders until an independent probe is carried out.
