Principles
of the committee
The committee scrutinises bills and Acts of Parliament and
reports to the Senate whether such bills or Acts, by express words or
otherwise:
-
trespass unduly on personal rights
and liberties;
-
make rights, liberties or
obligations unduly dependent upon insufficiently defined administrative powers;
-
make rights, liberties or
obligations unduly dependent upon non-reviewable decisions;
-
inappropriately delegate legislative
powers; or
-
insufficiently subject the
exercise of legislative power to parliamentary scrutiny.
Between 1 January 2013 and 30 June 2013, the committee
considered 196 bills, and commented on 80 bills in 7 Alert Digests. The
committee also produced 7 Reports containing correspondence from Ministers
addressing its concerns.
