The Treasurer 3 Joe Hockey has appointed a new audit 4 commission to help get the budget back into surplus. Economist 1 Saul Eslake says the body has the potential to lay out a long-term reform agenda.
 
“I think the audit commission if it does its job well and based on its people who are going to be comprising the audit commission, that...odds 5 are that it will do a good job. He could lay out a very far-reaching, bold and reformist agenda. If not for this term of governemnt, then for the Coaltion's next term if the people give it one at the next election.”
