Administrative Arrangements Order 2004 (TAS)

The Administrative Arrangements Order 2004 (TAS) outlines the administrative assignments for various departments and enactments within the Tasmanian government. The primary issue the court had to decide was whether the order accurately assigned responsibilities to the relevant ministers and departments as specified. The court examined the allocation of administrative duties and responsibilities to ensure they complied with the requirements of the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990. The reasoning focused on verifying that each department and enactment was correctly assigned to a specific minister and that the responsibilities outlined in the order were appropriate and in line with statutory provisions. The final outcome confirmed that the Administrative Arrangements Order 2004 was correctly structured and adhered to the legislative framework, thus affirming its validity. The court did not issue any orders as the primary focus was on the interpretation and verification of the existing order.
