Inquiry into Amendments to the Australian Protective Service Amendment Bill 2003
On Tuesday 9 September 2003, the Senate referred the provisions of the Bill
to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee for inquiry and
report on 7 October 2003.
This inquiry is subsequent to the Committee's previous consideration in
July/August 2003 of the Australian Protective Service Amendment Bill 2003, and
relates to subsequent Government amendments. The proposed amendments
primarily seek to confer the same stop and search powers on Australian Federal
Police Officers as is proposed to be conferred on Australian Protective Service
officers by the original Bill.
