Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee

Scrutiny report 17

MS LEE (Kurrajong) (3.35): I present the following report:

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee (Legislative Scrutiny Role)—Scrutiny Report 17, dated 4 May 2018, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.

I seek leave to make a brief statement.

Leave granted.

MS LEE: Scrutiny report 17 contains the committee’s comments on four bills, 15 pieces of subordinate legislation and four government responses. I draw to the attention of the Assembly the final paragraph on page 3 of the report, in which the committee recommends that the Assembly refer the Crimes (Consent) Amendment Bill 2018 to the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety for inquiry and report.

On behalf of the committee I thank the legal advisers to the committee—Stephen Argument and Daniel Stewart—and the committee secretariat for their efforts in the preparation of this report, which was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I commend the report to the Assembly.

Reference

MS CODY (Murrumbidgee) (3.36): I move:

That the Crimes (Consent) Amendment Bill 2018 be referred to the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety for inquiry and report by the last sitting day in October 2018.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (3.36): I am the member involved with this particular bill, and I think the inquiry is entirely fine. I just have one thing I would like to request of the committee: we did a lot of consultation on the bill in preparing it, and I hope there is some way that the submissions that were made to us can be considered by the committee so that people do not have to do all the work for a second time. I am hopeful there is some way that this can be organised.
