10th Sep 2019, 1:45 PM – Senate Inspector-General of Live Animal Exports Bill 2019 - in Committee - Subclause 10(2)
Summary
EditThe majority voted in favour of a motion to leave subclause 10(2) unchanged. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to let the subclause "stand as printed".
What was subclause 10(2)?
According to the bills digest:
Subclause 10(2) states that the Inspector-General is not permitted to review ‘only a single performance of a function, or a single exercise of a power, by a single live-stock export official’. The Explanatory Memorandum states that this limitation:
… is to ensure that the scope of the review is focussed on the effectiveness of the regulation of the live-stock export regulatory system as a whole, not the performance of an individual. It is intended that reviews will be high-level and may concern either the whole or specific parts of the live-stock export regulatory system.
