other measures may provide other genuine benefits like better transparency, visibility, certainty and fairness.
The report is a summary of what the committee has learned. This is extensive and, on behalf of the committee, I put on the record my sincere thanks to all the witnesses and submitters who have contributed to our thinking so far.
We have also put forward all of the options being actively considered by the committee. These range from doing nothing to what I would characterise as quite extreme intervention. Revealing these options, all nine of them, allows us to test these more broadly with the community, with government and with industry. It allows us to learn the appetite across these sectors and whether there are these unintended consequences that we are concerned about.
I thank my committee colleagues and the committee secretary for the attention and effort that they have given to this difficult inquiry. We encourage everyone to read the report, not just the headlines in the media, and provide their comments to the committee by 30 July. We will continue to receive evidence and conduct hearings as we receive this feedback. I commend this interim report to the Assembly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee
Statement by chair
MRS JONES (Murrumbidgee) (10.27): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety in its legislative scrutiny role in scrutinising amendments on recent issues that have arisen concerning this part of our role.
The scrutiny committee wrote to all members in February this year advising of the need to provide amendments to the committee at least 14 days before they are due to be moved. Accordingly, to clarify, the committee’s practice for receiving amendments to bills for consideration is that amendments should be provided to the committee at least 14 days prior to the Tuesday of the sitting week in which the amendments are proposed to be moved.
Education, Employment and Youth Affairs—Standing Committee
