Opening paragraphs

In accordance with section 28 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, (the charter), I make this Statement of Compatibility with respect to the Energy Legislation Amendment (Feed-in Tariffs and Improving Safety and Markets) Bill 2016.

In my opinion, the Energy Legislation Amendment (Feed-in Tariffs and Improving Safety and Markets) Bill 2016, as introduced to the Legislative Assembly, is compatible with human rights as set out in the charter. I base my opinion on the reasons outlined in this statement.

Human rights issues

There are no human rights protected under the charter that are relevant to this bill. I therefore consider that this bill is compatible with the charter.
