Censorship Amendment Bill 2002
Uniform Legislation and General Purposes Committee (2002 - 2005)· 17 October 2002general_report
The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Censorship Amendment Bill 2002, aimed at fully integrating WA into the National Co-operative Censorship Scheme (NCCS). The committee scrutinized strict liability offences and reversal of onus of proof. It recommended an amendment to Clause 14 and supported the Bill's passage subject to that change.
Impact
The bill affects publishers, film distributors, computer game vendors, and consumers in WA. It streamlines censorship processes and aligns WA with national standards, while removing the WA Minister's power to override national decisions but retaining the ability to request reviews.
