Member will be aware that ACQ is preparing a submission for the Productivity Commission Review (due 30 July 2010).  To assist members to contribute to the information we will be including in our submission we have extracted the various areas and listed some questions.  It would be very helpful if you could have a look at the various areas and provide ACQ with your thoughts on some or all of the questions posed by the Commission.  We do not need lengthy notes – just dot points of things you feel strongly should be included.  You can email your thoughts to Pam Bridges on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
