Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (CPIPC Recommendations) Amendment Bill

Final Stages

The House of Assembly agreed to the bill with the amendments indicated by the following schedule, to which amendments the House of Assembly desires the concurrence of the Legislative Council:

Amendment No 1 [AG–1]—

Page 74, lines 32 to 34 [Schedule 1 clause 59(1)]—Delete 'as if it had been issued for the purposes of the investigation of a matter by the Commission'

Amendment No 2 [AG–1]—

Page 76 after line 13—Insert:

65A—Judicial Conduct Commissioner continues in office

Despite section 12(3) and clause 16 of this Schedule, the Judicial Conduct Commissioner holding office under the Judicial Conduct Commissioner Act 2015 as in force before the commencement of this Act continues to hold that office on the commencement of this Act.

Consideration in committee.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I move:

That the House of Assembly's amendments be agreed to.

The amendments are two relatively simple amendments which are essentially transitional amendments. One ensures the continuation of the position of the Judicial Conduct Commissioner and the second one, out of an excess of caution, ensures that any existing surveillance device authorities that the commissioner might have in operation for a current investigation are able to be continued. They are viewed by the government and the House of Assembly as transitional amendments and we therefore support the amendments.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: I want to briefly say that of course I support the amendments. I would like to thank the government and the Attorney-General for guiding this piece of legislation through.

Motion carried.


At 18:33 the council adjourned until Tuesday 12 October 2021 at 14:15.
