Dear Mr President
Pursuant to Standing Order 38(7), I present a Report of the Senate Select Committee into Fair Dinkum Power (committee).
On 28 November 2018, the Senate established the committee to inquire and report by 30 June 2019. The committee received a total of 44 submissions and held one public hearing in Sydney on 18 March 2019. A list of submissions appears in Appendix 1 and witnesses who appeared at the public hearing are listed in Appendix 2.
Due to the prorogation of Parliament and the election, the committee has not been able to complete its inquiry and report as intended.
The committee recommends the Senate re-establish the committee in the 46th Parliament, with provision to access the documents and evidence of this committee, to enable the inquiry to be completed.
Yours sincerely
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young
Chair
