(a) & (b) I have considered the preliminary draft report of the review, but it does not fully address the terms of reference. I have asked the Department of Commerce to undertake consultation with key stakeholder groups to ascertain if the Objects of the
Industry and Technology Development Act 1998
remain relevant.
(c)(i) & (ii) Not applicable.
