GOVERNMENT — LEGISLATIVE AGENDA — LAPSED BILLS
201. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House:
I refer to a number of government
bills that were introduced in the other place in the fortieth Parliament and
lapsed on prorogation.
(1) How many such bills does the
government intend to reintroduce in this Parliament?
(2) What are those bills?
(3) Has there
been any changes to bills that have been reintroduced or are about to be
reintroduced, other than the date referred to in the short title?
(4) If yes to (3), can the Leader of
the House please provide details?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) The
drafting of bills for reintroduction is a decision of cabinet and is
cabinet-in-confidence. All bills, including
those that have been reintroduced, are listed on the Legislative Council and
Legislative Assembly notice papers.
