The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs will examine the 2019-20 annual report of the Attorney-General's Department. In doing so, the Committee will inquire into and report on constitutional reform and referendums, having particular regard to:
-
opportunities to improve public awareness and education about the Australian Constitution;
- suggestions for mechanisms to review the Australian Constitution and for community consultation on any proposed amendments before they are put to a referendum;
- the effectiveness of the arrangements for the conduct of referendums set out in the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act 1984 and the need for any amendments; and
- any other related matters.
