Delegated Legislation Monitor (1999)

Monitor No. 4 1999

DELEGATED LEGISLATION MONITOR

This week there were 33 disallowable instruments of delegated legislation tabled in the Senate, made under nine separate enabling Acts administered through six Departments of State.

Of the 33 instruments, none are from the Statutory Rules series of delegated legislation, which are generally superior in drafting, presentation and access to other forms of delegated legislation. This proportion of Statutory Rules in the total number is usual, illustrating the long term trend towards the greater use of instruments in series other than the Statutory Rules. Of the 33 instruments, five were made by the Governor-General or Ministers and 28 were made by public officials.
