AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE (POLICE LIAISON ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
1982 NO. 367
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The Australian Federal Police (Police Liaison Advisory Committee for the Australian Capital Territory) Regulations (Amendment) amends the Australian Federal Police (Police Liaison Advisory Committee for the Australian Capital Territory) Regulations (the Principal Regulations) by amending the definition of “judicial proceedings” in sub-regulation 3(3) consequent upon the coming into operation of the Complaints (Australian Federal Police) Act 1981 on 1 May 1982.
The Regulations amend regulation 3 of the Principal Regulations by omitting paragraph (3)(c) and substituting new paragraphs (3)(c) and (3)(ca).
Paragraph 3(c) reproduces the former paragraph 3(c) without reference to the Disciplinary Board and Appeal Board under the Australian Federal Police (Discipline) Regulations. Paragraph 3(ca) inserts reference to proceedings before the Federal Police Disciplinary Tribunal under the Complaints (Australian Federal Police) Act 1981. The amendment therefore substitutes reference to the Federal Police Disciplinary Tribunal for reference to the Disciplinary and Appeal Boards.
The new paragraphs have the effect that it is not a function of the Police Liaison Advisory Committee for the Australian Capital Territory to make any public statement in relation to a matter in respect of which proceedings are pending before the Commissioner under the Australian Federal Police (Discipline) Regulations or before the Federal Police Disciplinary Tribunal under the Complaints (Australian Federal Police) Act 1981.
