ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION ON NOTICE NO 380
Community Law Reform Committee - Residential
Tenancy Law Reference
MR CORNWELL - Asked the Attorney General upon notice on 17 November 1992:
In relation to the Community Law Reform Committee of the ACT and the current Residential Tenancy Law reference does the Governments policy aim to:
(a) increase or decrease competition between different landlords. to provide residential accommodation; or
(b) increase or decrease competition between individual landlords and tenants, irrespective of whether or not they agree on all the terms and conditions of their relationship.
MR CONNOLLY - The answer to the members questions is as follows:
These questions assume the Government has determined its policy in relation to a reference of the Community Law Reform Committee before the Committee makes its recommendations to Government. This is not and can not be the case.
The Government will not prejudge the issues nor undercut the position of the Committee but will make informed decisions once it has the benefit of the Committees recommendations. The answer to the members questions is therefore as follows:
The Government will determine its policy with respect to the Committees reference on reform of residential tenancy law after the Committee has presented its recommendations to Government. If Mr Cornwell has any further concerns in relation to the questions he raises, he may wish to consider taking them up with the Committee.
