Dear Commissioner Weickhardt,

With reference to your draft report dated May 2006 it appears that the government has backed down on targets

Priority items:
1.	Need to increase NOT decrease recycling targets.
2.	Require imports and domestically produced goods packaging to be recyclable material.
3.	Demand use of bio-degradable plastic bags or introduce levy of all other plastic bags.
4.	Government needs to provide further financial incentive to households for rainwater tanks, solar systems.
5.	Mandate uniform laws for building stds for water, energy savings incentives across ALL states

Yours sincerely

Anna Pleadin
