I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) The final recommendations report was provided to my office on 18 July 2011. (2) The final report recommended a price path that would have resulted in tariff increases for the average residential customer in the Mid West–South West area of 30.2 per cent by 1 January 2012. (3)–(4) Government is still considering the release of the report.
