List of recommendations

 

1     Report of the visit to Norfolk Island

Recommendation 1

The Committee recommends that the commitment of the Norfolk Island Government and the Australian Government to reform should be documented in a joint statement and timetable. This timetable should document the legislative changes required of both the Norfolk Island and Australian Governments to improve governance and administration and integrate Norfolk Island into the Australian taxation and welfare system. Any timetable should be predicated on the Norfolk Island Government introducing its own revenue streams (such as municipal rates), immigration reforms and divestiture of their Government Business Enterprises.
