Bill—Closing Date for Submissions
[Sitting date: 27 November 2014. Volume:702;Page:13. Text is subject to correction.]
1. Dr KENNEDY GRAHAM (Green) to the Chairperson of the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee : Will he consider extending the time period for submissions on the Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill given public submissions close today; if not, why not?
MARK MITCHELL (National—Rodney): No, I will not, as the select committee is required to report back to the House on 2 December.
Dr Kennedy Graham : Given that reply, will he seek to extend the date for the report back to Parliament from next Tuesday, given the public interest in the legislation; if not, why not?
MARK MITCHELL : No, and I would just like to point out the fact that the secretariat is working quickly and efficiently, and the select committee is committed to meeting the needs of submitters. To date we have been able to do that.
