Administrative Arrangements Order 2015 (TAS)

The Administrative Arrangements Order 2015 (TAS) was made under section 4(1) of the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990 (TAS) by the Governor of Tasmania. The order assigned the administration of various enactments, departments, and responsibilities to specific ministers. The legal issues in this case centred on the interpretation and validity of the order, specifically whether it complied with the requirements of the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990 (TAS) and whether the assignments of responsibilities were within the legislative framework. The court had to determine if the order was made in accordance with the law and if it correctly assigned the specified enactments, departments, and responsibilities. The court found that the order was valid and in compliance with the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990 (TAS). The order correctly assigned the administration of various enactments, departments, and responsibilities to the relevant ministers, and it specified the departments and authorities responsible to each minister. The court upheld the order, confirming its validity and the correct assignment of responsibilities.
