Information about the Inquiry
On 21 August 2002 the Senate, on the recommendation of the Selection of Bills
Committee, referred the Bill to the Committee for inquiry and report by 24 October 2002.
Submissions are invited from any interested parties and should be lodged
with the Committee by 13 September 2002. Submissions should be addressed to:
The Secretary
Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee
Suite S1 59
Parliament House
Canberra ACT 2600
The Committee prefers to receive submissions electronically as an attached document -
email: community.affairs.sen@aph.gov.au
Submissions become Committee documents and are made public only after a decision by the
Committee. Persons making submissions must not release them without the approval of the
Committee. Submissions are covered by parliamentary privilege but the unauthorised release
of them is not.
