Act No. 33 of 2016 - documents submitted for Royal Assent
Dear Attorney-General's Department,
Is it possible to provide the following documents, within your office's possession, relating to Act No. 33 of 2016, the Territories Legislation Amendment Act 2016?
I am looking for:
- Documents submitted to the Governor-General for royal assent to the Act (including the certificate from either the House of Representatives or the Senate, and the certificate signed by the Attorney-General recommending assent).
(I have enquired with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, and I understand that OPC does not have such documents in its possession.)
Thanks Yous!
Yours faithfully,
Tyler
