25 Standing  Committee  on  Constitutional  and  Legal  Affairs  that  a  committee  be established to maintain a watching brief on all Bills introduced into the Parliament. The work of the Committee is governed by Senate Standing Order 24 and the 5 principles set out in that order.

The Committee’s co mments are  drawn  to  the  attention  of  the  responsible  Minister,  whose  response  is  then reproduced in a subsequent report by the Committee. Bills are amended as a result of the Committee’s criticism and the Senate’s comments on a Bill are a matter of public record. The sorts of matters commented on include provisions that operate retrospectively, override the privilege against self-incrimination, reverse the onus of proof in criminal proceedings or create strict liability offences, allow search and seizure  without  warrant,  confer  on  administrators  ill-defined  and  wide  powers, exclude or limit or do not provide for judicial review or merits review, authorise delegated legislation to override primary legislation (“He nry VIII clauses”),  allow for important matters to be determined by delegated legislation, allow taxes and levies to be fixed by delegated legislation, or allow subordinate legislation to deal with a matter by adopting other material (incorporation by reference).
