    Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
I would like to request all available information in the form of emails and other communications, finalised or draft documents and projects related to any kind of complaints process for language service providers (LSPs), translators and/or interpreters which has been developed, started to be developed, has been planned and/or discussed, particularly since the creation of the Language Assistance Services (LAS) project. I would like information about any accountability process discussed to follow up on LSPs engaging NAATI interpreters first, meeting the conditions in their agreements and following the LAS policy (whether the process has been implemented or not, whether it is being planned, developed or disregarded).
Yours faithfully,
A Smith
