Special Investigation (Coal Contract) Bill 1993
Legislation Committee (1989 - 2001)· 12 April 1994general_report
The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Special Investigation (Coal Contract) Bill 1993, finding it potentially superfluous. The report suggests the Bill largely duplicates powers already available under the Royal Commissions Act 1968. It questions the need for new legislation when existing provisions could be adapted.
Impact
The report affects the government's approach to investigating the coal contract and potentially impacts the State Energy Commission and individuals involved in the original transaction. It also affects the efficiency of legislative processes.
