Part 2 – Legislative Instrument registered with FRLI 22 July–23 August 2012

Consideration of legislative instruments

2.1        The committee has considered 145 legislative instruments registered with the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments (FRLI) between 23 July and 22 August 2012.

2.2        Most of these instruments do not raise human rights concerns and have been registered with statements of compatibility that the committee considers to be adequate.

2.3        A number of instruments have been introduced with statements of compatibility that do not fully meet the committee's expectations. As the instruments in question do not raise human rights compatibility concerns, the committee has written to the relevant Ministers in a purely advisory capacity providing guidance on the preparation of statements of compatibility. The committee hopes that this approach will assist in the preparation of future statements of compatibility that conform more completely to the committee's expectations.

2.4        The committee has identified six instruments that it considers to be compatible with human rights, but for which it seeks clarification from the relevant Minister.

2.5        The full list of instruments scrutinised by the committee can be found in Appendix 1.
