Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee
Statement by chair
MRS JONES (Murrumbidgee) (11.18): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety relating to statutory appointments in accordance with continuing resolution 5A. Continuing resolution 5A requires standing committees which consider statutory appointments to report on a six-monthly basis and present a schedule listing appointments considered during the applicable period. The schedule is required to include the statutory appointments considered and, for each appointment, the date the request from the responsible minister for consultation was received and the date the committee’s feedback was provided.
For the applicable reporting period, 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2018, the committee considered a total of 10 appointments to five statutory bodies. In those cases, the committee advised the responsible minister that it had no comment to make on the appointments proposed.
The committee does highlight that it dealt with several items of advice in relation to a number of appointments where the standard information required by committees in assessing and advising the executive on appointments was not provided in initial advice to the committee. This led to the committee reminding the minister on several occasions that the committee requires that information to properly discharge its responsibilities. I present the following paper:
Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee—Schedule of Statutory Appointments—9th Assembly—Period 1 July to 31 December 2018.
