Delegated Legislation Committee (2017 - 2021)· 19 November 2020general_reportNo. 5

The Delegated Legislation Committee reviewed Curtin University Statutes No. 5 and No. 12. It recommended disallowance of Statute No. 5, finding it improperly delegated election details to University rules, bypassing parliamentary scrutiny. While Statute No. 12 was not recommended for disallowance, the Committee raised concerns about the University's interpretation of its Act, potentially limiting parliamentary oversight.
