• Summary:The Attorney-General of Australia has asked the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) to review the operation and provisions of the Royal Commissions Act 1902 (Cth) and consider the question of whether an alternative form or forms of Commonwealth executive inquiry should be established by statute. The ALRC has been asked to examine, among other things, whether Royal Commissions have sufficient powers to operate effectively and whether there are appropriate protections for the rights of people who are participants in a Royal Commission. The ALRC will also look at whether there is a need to establish other forms of inquiries that are less formal and more cost-effective.
