Review of Liquor Act Reforms

The ACT Government committed to review the effectiveness of the operation of the Liquor Act 2010 two years after the new laws were introduced in December 2010.

The terms of reference required analysis of relevant data, including from the Office of Regulatory Services, ACT Health, ACT Policing and ACT Ambulance Services. The terms of reference also required consultation with identified key stakeholders.

Discussion Paper Summary

The Attorney-General, Simon Corbell MLA has released a discussion paper for public consultation on creating a statutory framework to manage complaints about judicial officers (judges, master, magistrates and tribunal members), and to clearly set out responsibility for arranging court business in ACT Courts.  Reform of the arrangements for judicial officer complaints handling was an election commitment.

The ACT currently has laws that allow a judicial commission to be established to examine serious complaints and potentially recommend the removal of a judicial officer, but there is currently no legislative framework for handling less serious complaints.

The discussion paper…

The Workplace Privacy Act 2011 (the Act) was passed on 16 February 2011 and commenced on 10 March 2011. 

Section 48 of the Act requires the Minister to review the operation of the Act as soon as practicable after the end of its first year of operation. 

When the review is finalised, it will be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.

JACSD invites any comment or suggestion about the Act and its operation.  The attached brief background paper may assist you to provide your feedback.
