Download or read book New South Wales Legislative Council Practice written by Lynn Lovelock and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first edition of New South Wales Legislative Council Practice brings together the history, practice and procedure of the New South Wales Legislative Council - the Upper House of the New South Wales Parliament, and the first and oldest legislative body in Australia.Since the advent of responsible government in New South Wales in 1856, the New South Wales Legislative Council has been the focus of continuous struggle regarding its composition, powers, role and very existence. However, from its tumultuous history, the Council has in recent years emerged as a democratically elected, powerful and effective upper house, in many ways mirroring the development of the Australian Senate. Today the Council performs key functions within the New South Wales system of government including representing the people and scrutinising the executive government as a 'House of Review'.The rich history of the New South Wales Legislative Council has brought with it a wealth of parliamentary precedent with which to guide modern practice and procedures in the House. While practitioners of parliamentary law and practice in New South Wales have long had access to authorities such as Erskine May's Parliamentary Practice and Odgers' Australian Senate Practice, the publication of New South Wales Legislative Council Practice will provide an essential reference book to understanding parliamentary privilege, practice and procedure in the New South Wales Upper House.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inquiry was prompted by the finding that in the 2006-07 session schools were the subject of around 100 different statutory instruments made by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). Evidence from schools' representatives has convinced the Committee that the Department need to overhaul their approach, and actively to manage the planning and production of secondary legislation and guidance. Too many regulations are currently introduced piecemeal, throughout the school year. The Committee concludes that DCSF should bring schools-related instruments into force on a single date - 1 September is recommended - and give schools at least a term's notice to prepare to implement them. The Government should, moreover, adopt a less heavy-handed approach in its relationship with schools, and shift its focus away from the regulation of processes through statutory instruments towards establishing accountability for the delivery of key outcomes. This approach would leave greater room for the professionalism of practitioners to deliver the objectives of improving education. The Committee has also found that DCSF rarely reviews the effect of the regulations that it imposes. As a consequence, the Department does not know whether a statutory instrument has achieved its policy objective. The Committee calls on the Department to review the implementation of all significant regulations.
