New and continuing matters

1.1 In this chapter the committee has examined the following for compatibility with human rights:

• government amendments made to the Aged Care and Other Legislation Amendment (Royal Commission Response No. 2) Bill 2021; and

• legislative instruments registered on the Federal Register of Legislation between 28 October and 13 November 2021.^[2]

1.2 The committee has commented on amendments to the above bill and two legislative instruments in this chapter, and in one instance seeks further information from the relevant minister. It has deferred its consideration of six legislative instruments as set out in Appendix 1.

1.3 The committee has determined not to comment on the remaining legislative instruments from this period on the basis that the instruments do not engage, or only marginally engage, human rights; promote human rights; and/or permissibly limit human rights.
