Thanks to my administration and procedure committee colleagues for yet another collegiate inquiry and, of course, to all those involved in the drafting of the report. I commend the report to the Assembly.

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee

Statement by chair

MRS JONES (Murrumbidgee) (11.39): 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 the 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 2019 to 31 December 2019, the committee considered a total of 58 appointments, including reappointments, to the statutory bodies. In those cases, the committee advised the responsible minister that it had no comment to make on the appointments proposed.

I table a schedule of statutory appointments for the period 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019 as considered by the justice and community safety committee for the Ninth Assembly in accordance with continuing resolution 5A. I present the following paper:

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee—Schedule of Statutory Appointments—9th Assembly—Period 1 July to 31 December 2019.

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee
