Hansard debates

For Ms PULFORD (Minister for Regional Development), Ms Mikakos tabled following statement in accordance with Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006:

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 Regional Development Victoria Amendment (Jobs and Infrastructure) Bill 2015.

In my opinion, the Regional Development Victoria Amendment (Jobs and Infrastructure) Bill 2015, as introduced to the Legislative Council, 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.

Hon. Jaala Pulford, MP
Minister for Regional Development
