Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2015-03-26.
This bill is part of a package that reforms Norfolk Island's governance and extends mainland social security, immigration, health, and tax arrangements to the territory.
The package would abolish the Norfolk Island Legislative Assembly and Executive Council, establish an interim Advisory Council, and later apply New South Wales state law as Commonwealth law from 1 July 2016.
During an interim transition period starting after the passage of one bill, the Governor-General would have legislative power to make ordinances for the territory, subject to disallowance but not sunsetting provisions.
