Based on its research and consultations throughout an inquiry, the ALRC makes recommendations to government so that government can make informed decisions about law reform. The ALRC is part of the Attorney-General's portfolio, however it is independent of government. The ALRC's objective is to make recommendations that: - bring the law into line with current conditions and needs - remove defects in the law - simplify the law - adopt new or more effective methods for administering the law and dispensing justice, and - provide improved access to justice. When conducting an inquiry, the ALRC also monitors other jurisdictions to ensure Australia compares favourably with international best practice. The ALRC aims to ensure that recommendations it makes do not trespass unduly on personal rights and liberties of citizens, or make those rights and liberties unduly dependent on administrative, rather than judicial, decisions and, as far as practicable, are consistent with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

In conjunction with the introduction of ADF Super, a new statutory death and invalidity scheme, to be known as ADF Cover, is being established to come into effect from 1 July 2016. The Superannuation Guarantee Act 1992 provides that, in order for employer superannuation contributions to satisfy the choice of fund requirements, the relevant fund to which the contributions are paid must comply with various prescribed requirements, one of which applies to insurance in respect of death. ADF Cover has been established to meet the requirement for death and invalidity cover for new members of the ADF. From 1 July 2016, ADF Super members will be covered under this statutory scheme, as will members who could have been ADF Super members but for choosing another fund into which the Department's employer contributions are to be paid. The reason for this is that it is difficult for ADF members to obtain death and invalidity cover at a reasonable cost under group insurance arrangements. There will be no contributions required for ADF Cover (either from Defence or those who are covered under the statutory scheme) as the benefits will be paid from the Consolidated Revenue under a specific appropriation. ADF Cover is designed to be consistent with the death and invalidity benefits provided under the current Military Superannuation and Benefits Scheme (MSBS).Act / RegulationAustralian Defence Force Cover Act 20151/07/20160http://www.defence.gov.au/dpe/pac/ADFCover.pdf B-000694Health and Aged CareB.

Advisory Body - Policy and Stakeholder ConsultationThe Forum on Western Sydney Airport (FOWSA) has been established to enable the views of the communities of Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains to be heard and taken into account in the planning and development of Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport. It will also provide the opportunity for industry, local government and other stakeholder groups to be informed and provide feedback on the opportunities and challenges presented by the introduction of a new major airport in the Sydney basin. A key objective of FOWSA is to promote informed and responsive engagement between community and stakeholder representatives and an Aviation Expert Steering Group on issues relating to airspace management and flight path options, noise abatement and other aircraft operating procedures, and potential noise and amenity impacts from aircraft overflights. This is the statutory role of FOWSA under the Airport Plan Conditions. FOWSA will also provide a mechanism for the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities and WSA Co Limited to update residents affected by airport operations, local authorities, airport users and other interested parties on a range of issues relating to the broader planning and development of the airport and their associated impacts. This includes identifying and discussing local employment and business opportunities and seeking ways to ensure the expected benefits are maximised for Western Sydney and surrounding communities.OtherMinister / Airport Act 199610/04/201723NoMinisterialNoDepartment of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts111 Alinga StreetCanberra CityACT2601Australiahttp://www.westernsydneyairport.gov.au/forum/index.aspx B-003638Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the ArtsB.

It was seeded with an appropriation by Parliament of 100,000 from consolidated revenue. Until 2009 the SIEF investment priorities, as reflected in the Act, were to provide assistance to people engaged in scientific research and for the training of students in scientific research. Between 2009-2011 the SIEF was rejuvenated through gifts to the SIEF by CSIRO made possible from the proceeds of licences granted by CSIRO in 2009 for its wireless local area network (WLAN) technology. The injection of these monies into the SIEF, together with 2 additional Gifts from CSIRO (2018, 2020), made pursuant to a Deed of Gift (2009), provided the opportunity to extend the reach of the SIEF and diversify its support for a range of research activities which fall outside the mainstream and address present and future major challenges.
