Committees

Committees are where the Assembly does much of its detailed, investigative work. By serving on several committees, I’m able to examine legislation closely, scrutinise government activity, and contribute to policy work that directly affects the ACT. These roles give me the opportunity to bring Tuggeranong’s perspective into important decision‑making processes across a wide range of portfolio areas. Each committee will usually meet weekly. Below are the committees that I currently serve on.

More information on each of the Committee’s work is available here.

Standing Committee on Legal Affairs (Legislative Scrutiny Role)

Deputy Chair

In addition to its inquiry work, the Legal Affairs Committee also carries a formal legislative scrutiny responsibility. In this role, I help examine every bill and piece of subordinate legislation presented to the Assembly to ensure it is well‑drafted, respects human rights, and does not unduly limit people’s liberties. This includes assessing whether legislation delegates powers appropriately, relies on clearly defined administrative processes, preserves the right to review decisions, and meets the technical standards expected by the Assembly.
