APPENDIX A
CONDUCT OF THE INQUIRY
- The terms of reference for this inquiry were first referred to the
Committee in November 1995. [1] Following
the federal election in March 1996, and the re-establishment of the
Committee, the terms of reference were re-adopted. [2]
- The Committee advertised nationally for submissions and received 25
written submissions. A list of written submission received by the Committee
appears at Appendix B.
- Two public hearings were held; in Sydney on 28 August 1996 and in
Melbourne on 5 September 1996. A list of witnesses who appeared before
the Committee appears at Appendix C.
- The federal election and the commencement of the 38th Parliament occurred
during the course of the Committee's inquiry into this matter, although
the consideration of written and oral submissions, and the preparation
of this report, has taken place entirely during the 38th Parliament.
