asked the Minister for the Environment, in writing, on 25 November 2019:

(1) When will the first review of the Product Stewardship Act 2011 be finalised.

(2) Given that public consultation for the review closed in June 2018, why is the review of the Act taking so long.

(3) When will the submissions to the review of the Act be published on the Department of the Environment and Energy's website.

(4) Why: (a) have no annual product lists been published under the Act since June 2017; (b) were no new products added to the 2017-18 list; and (c) have no mandatory product stewardship schemes been implemented under the Act.

(5) Will proposed stewardship schemes for batteries and photovoltaic systems be implemented under the Act; if so when; if not, why not.
