Administrative Arrangements Order 2017 (TAS)

The case involves the Administrative Arrangements Order 2017, which was made by the Governor of Tasmania under the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990. This order assigns various enactments, departments, and responsibilities to different ministers. The legal issue at hand was whether the order correctly assigned the specified enactments, departments, and responsibilities to the respective ministers as outlined in the order. The court had to determine if the order was made in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990 and if the assignments were appropriate. The court found that the order was valid and correctly assigned the enactments, departments, and responsibilities as specified. The reasoning was based on the authority granted to the Governor by the Administrative Arrangements Act 1990 to make such orders, and the court confirmed that the order complied with the requirements of the Act. The final outcome was that the Administrative Arrangements Order 2017 was upheld, and the assignments of enactments, departments, and responsibilities were confirmed as valid.
