Review of Royal Commissions Act 1902

02/02/2009

Attorney-General Robert McClelland today announced that the Australian Law Reform Commission will review the Royal Commissions Act 1902.

“Royal Commissions have been an important means of inquiry and source of advice to government since Federation. But they have tended to be highly technical, time consuming and expensive,” Mr McClelland said.

For further information about the inquiry, including its terms of reference and how to make submissions, visit the commission’s website at www.alrc.gov.au
