Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 6 Hansard (3 September) . . Page.. 1902 ..

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General, Minister for Justice and Community Safety and Minister Assisting the Treasurer): Pursuant to section 6 of the Subordinate Laws Act 1989, I present Subordinate Law No. 208 of 1998, being a reference for investigation under section 15 and specified requirements in relation to investigation under section 16 of the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Commission Act 1997 and notified in Gazette No. S191, dated 3 September 1998.
