COMMONWEALTH AND NEW SOUTH WALES LEGISLATION. IF THAT BILL WAS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY, THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ASK THE COMMONWEALTH TO END THE APPLICATION OF COMMONWEALTH EVIDENCE LAW TO THE TERRITORY.

A FURTHER ADVANTAGE OF THIS APPROACH IS THAT IT LENDS A.C.T. SUPPORT FOR THE MOVE TOWARDS UNIFORM EVIDENCE LAW ACROSS AUSTRALIA. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT OTHER JURISDICTIONS WILL FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE COMMONWEALTH, NEW SOUTH WALES AND THE A.C.T. AND REFORM THEIR OWN LAWS OF EVIDENCE IN WAYS THAT ARE SUBSTANTIALLY UNIFORM WITH THE PRESENT PROJECT.

I PRESENT FOR THE INFORMATION OF MEMBERS A COPY OF THE COMMONWEALTH EVIDENCE BILL 1993.
