To manage these interests, the committee also resolved to commence the inquiry into the bill after the Select Committee on Privileges 2022 has tabled its report and if the select committee is dissolved. The Select Committee on Estimates 2022 to 2023 was dissolved on 31 October 2022. The committee can revisit these matters once the Select Committee on Privileges 2022 has tabled its report.
The Resolution of Establishment for Standing Committees states that all bills presented to the Assembly stand referred to the relevant standing committee for inquiry and report within two months from the presentation of the bill. The reference of the bill under this resolution means the reporting date for this bill is 20 December 2022.
As the inquiry into the Work Health and Safety Amendment Bill 2022 will not commence until the Select Committee on Privileges 2022 has tabled its report, currently due on the last sitting day in December, my motion asks for the reporting date to be extended. The committee is seeking an extension of the reporting date to three months after the Select Committee on Privileges 2022 has tabled its report, consistent with bills that have been tabled in the last sitting period of the year. I commend my motion to the Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee
Reporting date—amendment
MR CAIN (Ginninderra) (11.19): I move:
That, notwithstanding the provisions of the resolution of the Assembly of 2 December 2020, as amended, that established general purpose standing committees, the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety shall present its report on the Integrity Commission Amendment Bill 2022 (No 2) within two months following when the Government review of the Integrity Commission Act 2018 becomes available.
In accordance with the Assembly Resolution Establishing General Purpose Standing Committees, the Integrity Commission Amendment Bill 2022 (No 2) was referred to the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety on 20 October 2022. At a private meeting on 27 October 2022, the committee resolved to undertake an inquiry into the bill. The committee called for public submissions on 7 November 2022.
The resolution of establishment for standing committees states that all bills presented to the Assembly stand referred to the relevant standing committee for inquiry and report within two months from the presentation of the bill. The reference of the bill under this resolution means the reporting date for this bill is 20 December 2022.
However, the committee notes that, under section 303 of the Integrity Commission Act 2018, a review of the operation of the act is pending. The committee considers that the outcomes of this review should be taken into account when inquiring into the Integrity Commission Amendment Bill 2022 (No 2).
