The Committee invites interested persons and organisations to make submissions addressing the terms of reference. The initial closing date for submissions was by 5 December 2003 - anyone now wanting to make a contribution to the inquiry should contact the Committee Secretariat.

In order to facilitate electronic publishing of submissions, the Committee would prefer them to be emailed to jscncet@aph.gov.au or sent on disk or CD-ROM to the Committee Secretariat in Microsoft Word® or Portable Document Format (PDF).
