ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 329

Business Regulation

MR KAINE - Asked the Attorney General upon notice on 16 September 1992:

(1) What Acts and Regulations affecting business activity in the Territory, in the period 1 July 1991 to 30 June 1992, were (a) amended, and with what intent; (b) repealed, and why; and (c) introduced, and with what intent.

(2) What was the cost to the Territory in foregone revenue from fees or charges for regulatory services; and what are the estimated benefits to business activity.

MR CONNOLLY- The answer to the members questions are as follows:

(1) The answer to this question is already a matter of public record. The

details of legislation introduced into the Assembly may be found in the Bills

List for this and the preceding sessions. The details of subordinate legislation

made by Ministers can be found in the ACT Gazette. Explanatory memoranda,

which accompany legislation and which are provided to all members, give full

explanations for the particular legislation.

(2) The answer to this question is already a matter of public record. Details

about the cost of various regulatory proposals can be found in the materials

referred to above, the budget papers and the debates within the Assembly.

Under the Legislation Review Program which the Government endorsed and tabled in the Assembly last year, officers of my Department are completing a detailed study of ACT laws which impact on business. After the Government has considered that report, I hope to make it available to members.
