Introduced into the Senate on 29
June 2012
By: Senators Madigan and Xenophon
1.2
The committee notes that the statement of compatibility claims that this
bill does not engage human rights as defined in the Human Rights
(Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011. The committee seeks clarification from
Senators Madigan and Xenophon whether the bill could be said to engage the
right to privacy contained in Article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights and the right to health contained in Article 12 of the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
This bill amends the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000
to provide the Regulator with the authority to ensure that accredited power
stations that are wind farms, either in whole or in part, do not create
excessive noise.
