Legislative Review Committee: Termination of Pregnancy Regulations 2022

Mr FULBROOK (Playford) (11:04): I move:

That the report of the committee, on the Termination of Pregnancy Regulations 2022, be noted.

These regulations were tabled in both houses of parliament on 5 July 2022 and referred to the Legislative Review Committee. The committee raised a concern against one of the committee's scrutiny principles, that being whether an instrument unduly trespasses on personal rights and liberties. On behalf of the committee, I gave a notice of motion to disallow the regulations as a holding motion on 2 November 2022. A subsequent report has now been prepared, which I ask be noted by the house today. Given the holding motion remains in the form of a disallowance motion, I intend to keep that in place and allow reasonable time for members to consider the report. I commend the report to the house.

Motion carried.
