Submissions received by the committee so far

Submissions received by the committee so far

The committee has received something over 4,500 submissions to this inquiry as at 10 November. The vast majority of these are in the form of expressions of opinions about the policy underlying the legislation, with comments on particular aspects of the bill to which the committee's attentions should be drawn.

In addition around 1,000 email messages presumably intended as submissions have been received. They contain only the name and address of the sender in most instances and cannot be treated as submissions.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible for the committee to acknowledge these submissions individually. They will, however, be taken into consideration by the committee and will be tabled in the Senate together with other evidence gathered in the inquiry.

Key submissions which address the provision of the bill in detail, and which are likely to be aired at the public hearings next week, will be placed on the website as soon as possible.
