Q. Statutory task force on phoenix activity?

A long term option could be the establishment of a statutory task force on phoenix activity. This could be supported by all the relevant agencies and facilitate ongoing data sharing, cooperative campaign work and integrated monitoring (which could occur through a ‘watch list' targeting repeat offenders).

Multiple stakeholders noted that statutory task forces have significant reporting requirements and argued that the benefits of a statutory task force would likely not be worth the significant administrative costs. Some stakeholders expressed a preference for MOUs and a continuation of the current forum arrangement.
