This document continues the practice of
presenting to the Senate twice each year a list of government responses to
Senate and joint committee reports as well as responses which remain
outstanding.
The practice of presenting this list to the
Senate is in accordance with the resolution of the Senate of 14 March 1973 and the undertaking by successive governments to respond to
parliamentary committee reports in timely fashion. On 26 May 1978 the
Minister for Administrative Services (Senator Withers) informed the Senate that
within six months of the tabling of a committee report, the responsible
minister would make a statement in the Parliament outlining the action the
government proposed to take in relation to the report. The period for responses
was reduced from six months to three months in 1983 by the incoming government.
The Leader of the Government in the Senate announced this change on 24 August 1983. The method of response continued to be by way of statement.
Subsequently, on 16 October 1991 [tabled 5 Nov
1991] the government advised that responses to committee reports would
be made by letter to a committee chair, with the letter being tabled in the
Senate at the earliest opportunity. The government affirmed this commitment in
June 1996 to respond to relevant parliamentary committee reports within three
months of presentation. The current government indicated on 26 June and 4
December 2008 that it is committed to providing timely responses to parliamentary
committee reports[1].
Although, on 29 September 2010, the House agreed
to a resolution which places a six month response time on House and joint
committee reports tabled in the House[2], the Senate has not agreed to a similar
resolution. Therefore, this list is prepared on the basis of a three month
reporting requirement for Senate and joint committee reports tabled in the
Senate.
This list does not usually include reports of the
Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works, the Parliamentary Joint Committee
on Human Rights or the following Senate Standing Committees: Appropriations and
Staffing, Privileges, Procedure, Publications, Regulations and Ordinances, Scrutiny
of Bills, Selection of Bills and Senators’ Interests. However, such reports
will be included if they require a response. Government responses to reports of
the Public Works Committee are normally reflected in motions in the House of
Representatives for the approval of works after the relevant report has been
presented and considered.
Reports of the Joint Committee of Public Accounts
and Audit (JCPAA) primarily make administrative recommendations but may make
policy recommendations. A government response is required in respect of such
policy recommendations made by the committee. However, responses to
administrative recommendations are made in the form of an executive minute
provided to, and subsequently tabled by, the committee. Agencies responding to
administrative recommendations are required to provide an executive minute
within six months of the tabling of a report. The committee monitors the
provision of such responses.
An entry on this list for a report of the JCPAA
containing only administrative recommendations is annotated to indicate that
the response is to be provided in the form of an executive minute.
Consequently, any other government response is not required. However, any
reports containing policy recommendations are included in this report as
requiring a government response.
Senate
committees report on bills and the provisions of bills. Only those reports in
this category that make recommendations which cannot readily be addressed
during the consideration of the bill, and therefore require a response, are
listed. The list also does not include reports by
committees on estimates or scrutiny of annual reports, unless recommendations
are made that require a response.
*...... See document tabled in the Senate on 28 November 2012, entitled Government
Responses to Parliamentary Committee Reports–Response to the schedule tabled by
the President of the Senate on 28 June 2012 for Government interim/final
response.
**.... Report contains administrative recommendation – any response to
those recommendations is to be provided to the JCPAA committee in the form of
an executive minute.
