I seek leave to amend business of the Senate notice of motion No. 2 standing in my name for today proposing a reference to the Legal and Constitutional References Committee on the Australian Law Reform Commission before asking that it be taken as formal.
Leave granted.
I amend the motion by omitting in paragraph (d) the following words: ‘in particular the Australian Human Rights Commission’ and move the motion, as amended:
- That the following matter be referred to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee for inquiry and report by 31 March 2011:
The Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC), with particular reference to:
- (a)
- its role, governance arrangements and statutory responsibilities;
- (b)
- the adequacy of its staffing and resources to meet its objectives;
- (c)
- best practice examples of like organisations interstate and overseas;
- (d)
- the appropriate allocation of functions between the ALRC and other statutory agencies; and
- (e)
- other related matters.
