The Legislation Review Committee reviews all Bills introduced into Parliament and reports on the impact of these Bills on personal rights and liberties. Specifically, the Committee is required under section 8A of the Legislation Review Act 1987 to report to Parliament any Bill that:
trespasses on personal rights and liberties
does not properly define administrative powers that may affect personal rights
does not allow for the review of decisions that may affect personal rights
inappropriately delegates legislative power
does not sufficiently allow the Parliament to scrutinise legislative power

The Parliamentary Research Service prepares papers on legislation before the Parliament ​​and on major issues of interest to members. Papers cover a broad range of subject areas including law, politics, government, environment, economics and social issues.
