Australian Crime Commission (Western Australia) Bill 2003

Uniform Legislation and General Purposes Committee (2002 - 2005)· 22 June 2004general_report

This WA parliamentary committee report examines the Australian Crime Commission (Western Australia) Bill 2003, intended to complement Commonwealth legislation and enable the ACC to investigate serious and organised crime related to state offences. The committee identifies potential issues including the definition of 'serious and organised crime', abrogation of self-incrimination privilege and overlap with the Corruption and Crime Commission.

Impact

The bill affects individuals potentially subject to ACC investigation, legal practitioners, and the operations of both the ACC and the Corruption and Crime Commission. The recommendations aim to balance law enforcement powers with individual rights and parliamentary oversight.
