Interim Report

Inquiry into the National Market Driven Energy Efficiency Target Bill 2007

Interim Report

I present a further interim report of the Standing Committee on Economics in relation to the following bills:

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (Fair Bank and Credit Card Fees) Amendment Bill 2007 is a private Senator's bill which was referred to the committee on 15 August 2007 for report by 17 September 2007. Fourteen submissions were received.

The National Market Driven Energy Efficiency Target Bill 2007 is a private Senator's bill which was referred to the committee on 16 August 2007 for report by 22 October 2007. Nine submissions were received.

The committee sought and received an extension of time from the Senate on 17 September 2007 to report on these bills by the last day of the 41st Parliament, 11 February 2008. However, the intervening federal election prevented the committee from further examining the bills.
