Dear NSW Fair Trading,

I would like a copy of the report you have from last financial year or
similar outlining the number of penalty notices NSW Fair Trading has
issues relevant to issuing RTA penalties.

It would be important for the public to understand how much focus NSW Fair
Trading has put into enforcing the statutory powers and whether these
powers are effectively used.

If the NSW Fair Trading has issued 0 penalty notices then I would
appreciate informally be known of this fact so further inquiries on why
the penalty notices are not used.

I am sure that we both appreciate saving time and cost to have
transparency on this.

Yours faithfully,

MissAnonymous
