In order for the committee to evaluate whether examination of the budget works better for standing committees or as a select committee on estimates, it was considered that having the 2022-23 budget examination undertaken by a select committee would mean that the Assembly could more easily evaluate both processes to ascertain which works best. Accordingly, the committee recommends that a select committee be established for the next budget examination so that an evaluation of both scrutiny processes can be undertaken by this committee later this year. The matter is listed for discussion this Thursday.

MR CAIN (Ginninderra) (11.49): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety.

The committee supports the policy intention of the bill but sees value in a public discussion about how it would operate in practice.
