Representatives, 27 March 2014
1.115 The Railway Agreement (Western Australia) Amendment Bill 2014 (the bill)
seeks to amend the Railway Agreement (Western Australia) Act 1961 (the
Act) to:
- enable early repayment of the Commonwealth loan made to the
Western Australian Government for the construction of a standard gauge railway,
primarily from Kalgoorlie to Perth; and
-
repeal the Act 28 days after the loan repayment is made.
1.116 The bill is accompanied by a statement of compatibility which states
that the bill does not engage any of the applicable rights or freedoms and 'is
compatible with human rights as it does not raise any human rights issues'.[1]
1.117 The committee considers that the bill does not appear to give
rise to human rights concerns.
