Inquiry into Water (Crisis Powers and Floodwater Diversion) Bill 2010
REPORT
On 13 May 2010 the Senate referred an inquiry into the Water (Crisis Powers and Floodwater Diversion) Bill 2010 to the Environment, Communications and the Arts Legislation Committee for inquiry and report by 24 August 2010.
The committee received 18 submissions which are available on the committee's website, and held a public hearing on 30 June 2010.
The committee has been unable to complete the inquiry owing to the prorogation of the 42nd Parliament on 19 July 2010. Accordingly, the committee has resolved not to continue its inquiry into the Bill. If the Bill is reintroduced in the next parliament the Senate can again refer it to the committee for inquiry.
