Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee

Scrutiny report 45

MRS JONES (Murrumbidgee) (11.23): I present the following report:

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee (Legislative Scrutiny Role)—Scrutiny Report 45, dated 30 June 2020, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.

I seek leave to make a brief statement.

Leave granted.

MRS JONES: Scrutiny report No 45 contains the committee’s comments on three bills, proposed amendments to the Public Interest Disclosure Amendment Bill, 12 pieces of subordinate legislation, one regulatory impact statement and six government responses. The report was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I commend the report to the Assembly.

COVID-19 pandemic response—Select Committee

Interim report 3

MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (11.23): I present the following report:

COVID-19 Pandemic Response—Select Committee—Interim Report 3, dated 1 July 2020, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.

I move:

That the report be noted.

Interim report No 3 draws on the public hearings held on 28 May, 5 June, 11 June, 19 June and 25 June. We also received several submissions over that period, in addition to questions taken on notice and many exhibits as well. There are, of course, numerous recommendations that have been made in this report and I urge all members to review those. In particular, I urge the government to take those on board as a matter of urgency and to report to the Assembly as quickly as possible as to their implementation. Again, I encourage members to review this interim report.

MS CHEYNE (Ginninderra) (11.25): I commend the report to the Assembly as well, on behalf of the government members. There are many recommendations in this report—21. There is plenty in it. We have had many people who have appeared, both government officials and ministers and, of course, so many people right across the community. This committee really is setting the pace for hearings. My deep thanks go to all the committee’s secretariat team and everyone behind that who makes the hearings available and public via Zoom or Webex, whichever it may be.
