Report on Release of Records Pertaining to the Joing Standing Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission and its Predecessor

Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission (2005 - 2008)· 29 March 2007general_report

This WA parliamentary committee report recommends amending Legislative Assembly Standing Orders to allow automatic release of records from the Joint Standing Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission (and its predecessor) after 30 years. Currently, release requires Speaker approval, which the committee finds restrictive. They advocate for transparency and public access to these records, aligning with the release timeframe for Cabinet documents.

Impact

The change would affect the public's access to information regarding the Corruption and Crime Commission and the Anti-Corruption Commission. It also impacts the Legislative Assembly Procedure and Privileges Committee, which would consider the proposed amendment.
