Anthony CARBINES (Ivanhoe – Leader of the House, Minister for Police, Minister for Community Safety, Minister for Victims, Minister for Racing) (13:27): Under the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, I table a statement of compatibility:

In accordance with section 28 of the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (Charter), I make this statement of compatibility with respect to the Appropriation (Parliament 2026–2027) Bill 2026.

In my opinion, the Appropriation (Parliament 2026–2027) Bill 2026, as introduced to the Legislative Assembly, is compatible with the human rights protected by the Charter. I base my opinion on the reasons outlined in this statement.

Overview of Bill

The purpose of the Appropriation (Parliament 2026–2027) Bill 2026 is to provide appropriation authority for payments from the Consolidated Fund to the Parliament and its agencies in respect of the 2026–2027 financial year.

Human Rights Issues

The Appropriation (Parliament 2026–2027) Bill 2026 does not raise any human rights issues.

As the Appropriation (Parliament 2026–2027) Bill 2026 does not raise any human rights issues, it does not limit any human rights, and therefore it is not necessary to consider section 7(2) of the Charter.

Conclusion

I consider that the Appropriation (Parliament 2026–2027) Bill 2026 is compatible with the Charter because it does not raise any human rights issues.
