The appointment is internal, with Barden currently the body’s director of economics and sustainability. Barden’s background also includes stints at the ACCC, ActewAGL and managing her own online food business.

With Australia’s food and grocery turnover coming in at around $125 billion each year, Barden’s role is not one to be taken lightly.
