I can indicate generally in relation to inspections and non-compliance that a committee of industry and state regulators has been established to input into the renewable energy target inspection regime. Where there are issues of non-compliance with standards that have been identified, the regulations require that information be passed on to both the Clean Energy Council as well as the relevant state and territory regulators so that enforcement actions can be taken.

I do not have any further information that I can provide at this stage on the specific complaints to which you refer. Obviously, the regulator is committed to investigating suspected instances of fraud and if there is any additional information the senator would like to provide I am sure the minister will ensure that that is passed on to the office of the renewable energy regulator.
