Constitution (Disclosures by Members)

Amendment (De Facto Relationships)

Regulation 2010

under the

Constitution Act 1902

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council and in compliance with the provisions of section 14A (5) of the Constitution Act 1902, has made the following Regulation under the Constitution Act 1902.

KRISTINA KENEALLY, MP

Premier

Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to amend the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983 to update references to de facto partners in that Regulation to include persons who are in a registered relationship, or an interstate registered relationship, under the Relationships Register Act 2010 by omitting the definition of de facto partner in the Regulation so that the definition of de facto partner in the Interpretation Act 1987 will apply. The effect of this change is that exemptions from disclosure requirements under that Regulation that apply to gifts received from relatives, travel contributions made by relatives and debts owed to relatives will extend to such de facto partners.

This Regulation is made under the Constitution Act 1902, including section 14A.
