2.What is the minimum qualification for those carrying out audits under REES?

3.How is their work audited and quality assured?

4.Have all employees under this scheme had police checks?

5.How many are South Australian residents?

6.How much is the gross fee for an assessor for each audit?

7.How do businesses tender for this work?

8.How many companies or individuals carrying out these audits are based in South Australia and how many are not based in South Australia?

9.How many complaints have been received by: (a) AGL; and (b) the state government?

10.What are the terms of reference of the review of REES?

11.How can an individual or an organisation make a public submission?
