(a) roles and resourcing of Utilities Policy Office agreed by Cabinet (June 2010);
(b) drafting instructions for funding levy to Cabinet (October 2010);
(c) appropriation provided in 2011-12 Budget (March 2011); and
(d) start-up of Office and transitional arrangements (May 2011)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation 32 have not been achieved, why not?
