Principles of the committee
The committee scrutinises bills and
Acts of Parliament and reports to the Senate whether such bills or Acts, by express
words or otherwise:
-
trespass unduly on personal rights and liberties;
-
make rights, liberties or obligations unduly dependent upon
insufficiently defined administrative powers;
-
make rights, liberties or obligations unduly dependent upon
non-reviewable decisions;
-
inappropriately delegate legislative powers; or
-
insufficiently subject the exercise of legislative power to
parliamentary scrutiny.
