Co-operatives Amendment Bill 2015
Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 25 February 2016general_report
The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Co-operatives Amendment Bill 2015, finding it generally doesn't significantly impact parliamentary sovereignty. However, it raises concerns about 'Henry VIII' clauses (delegating legislative power to the executive) and the increasing use of subsidiary legislation.
Impact
Co-operatives and their members in Western Australia are affected by changes to duties, obligations, and the ability to operate nationally. The Parliament's law-making power is potentially weakened by the use of Henry VIII clauses.
