Correction to Report 38: A Seminar on the Role of Parliaments in Treaty Making: Canberra June 24 and 25 1999
Constitutional Affairs Committee (1989 - 2001)· 2 May 2000numbered_reportNo. 38
This WA parliamentary committee report corrects a previous report (Report 38) regarding the High Court case Croome v Tasmania. The correction clarifies that the High Court did not rule that Commonwealth law overrode Tasmanian law in that case. Instead, the Tasmanian Parliament repealed the relevant sections of the Criminal Code, rendering the litigation moot.
Impact
The correction ensures the accuracy of parliamentary records and understanding of the Croome v Tasmania case. It affects legal professionals, parliamentarians, and anyone interested in constitutional law and treaty-making processes.
