The Procedure and Privileges Committee reviewed the Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Amendment Bill 2017, which aimed to restore the CCC's power to investigate parliamentary offenses. The committee sought legal counsel who advised that the proposed amendment was too ambiguous and could unintentionally diminish parliamentary privilege. The committee recommended that the Bill not be passed in its current form.
Impact
The outcome affects the scope of CCC investigations into Members of Parliament and their staff, and the balance between parliamentary privilege and law enforcement powers.
