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 28 September 2010 and 31
December 2010, the committee considered 111 bills, and commented on 31 bills in
three Alert Digests. The committee also produced three Reports containing
correspondence from Ministers addressing its concerns.
