Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002

The Attorney General and the Police Minister are to review the APEC Act to determine whether the policy objectives of that Act were met and whether the terms of that Act remain appropriate for future meetings or events comparable to an APEC meeting.

The review is to be undertaken as soon as possible after the Commissioner has provided the Attorney General and the Police Minister with the Commissioner’s report on the APEC Act.

A report on the outcome of the review is to be tabled in each House of Parliament within the period of 6 months after the repeal of the APEC Act.

If a House of Parliament is not sitting when the Attorney General or Police Minister seeks to table the report, the Attorney General or Police Minister may present the report to the Clerk of the House concerned.

The report—

is, on presentation and for all purposes, taken to have been laid before the House, and

may be printed by authority of the Clerk of the House, and

if so printed, is for all purposes taken to be a document published by or under the authority of the House, and

is to be recorded—

in the case of the Legislative Council, in the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Legislative Council, and

in the case of the Legislative Assembly, in the Votes and Proceedings of the Legislative Assembly,
