Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2022-11-23.
The bill would update Treasury portfolio laws to make them more current and effective.
It would do this through changes in four areas: making communications technology-neutral, implementing Australian Law Reform Commission recommendations, and making minor and technical amendments.
The government says the changes in schedules 2 to 4 generally stay within existing policy settings.
- Make communications technology-neutral.
- Implement recommendations of the Australian Law Reform Commission review.
- Make minor and technical amendments.
