Statement of compatibility

Section 9 of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 requires the maker of a disallowable instrument to have prepared a statement of compatibility in relation to the instrument. The statement of compatibility must include an assessment of whether the instrument is compatible with human rights, and must be included in the ES for the instrument.

With reference to this requirement, the committee notes that the ES for this instrument includes a statement of compatibility that appears to be missing part of the human rights compatibility analysis.

However, the committee notes that the instrument is compatible with human rights as it does not raise any human rights issues.

The committee draws this matter to the minister's attention.
