Procedural Fairness and Powers of the House
Procedure and Privileges Committee (2008 - 2013)· 24 June 2010general_report
The WA Procedure and Privileges Committee report (2010) examines procedural fairness and powers of the Legislative Assembly, particularly regarding witnesses in committee inquiries. It reviews existing processes, considers recommendations from Lindell and Carney, and proposes changes to protect witnesses while maintaining parliamentary authority.
Impact
The recommendations aim to balance procedural fairness for witnesses with the Legislative Assembly's need to investigate and address contempt. Changes affect individuals appearing before committees, particularly those facing adverse findings or allegations of wrongdoing.
