Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2019-02-14.
This bill is part of a package that would create the National Sports Tribunal to resolve sporting disputes in Australia.
The bill would update other laws so they work with the new tribunal, including allowing evidence from the sports anti-doping agency to be used in tribunal hearings.
The bill would let the tribunal handle disputes and decisions that happened before, on, or after the new law starts, and sets a 2-year time limit for applications.
- Amends the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority Act 2006 to let the ASADA CEO present certain assertions and information at tribunal hearings.
- Amends the same Act to allow material obtained under a disclosure notice to be used as evidence in the tribunal.
- Makes the new tribunal's provisions apply to disputes and decisions regardless of when they occurred.
The Australian sporting community, sports organisations, and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
