Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of amendments introduced by the government, which means they will now be included in the bill.

What did this amendment do?

According to the supplementary explanatory memorandum:

The purpose of these amendments to the Administrative Review Tribunal Bill 2024 (the Bill) is to:

  • clarify the circumstances in which proceedings can be continued where an applicant dies, or is bankrupt, wound up or in liquidation or administration,

  • reinstate the approach to secrecy and non-disclosure obligations that currently applies to staff and members of the AAT,

  • strengthen reporting requirements and transparency in relation to systemic issues in the making of reviewable decisions identified in the Tribunal's caseload, by requiring Commonwealth entities and Ministers to inform the Council of actions taken in relation to such issues.
