Work underway on federal law changes
Burke said the senior officials group, which has been established federally and brings together various police and justice portfolios “and premiers’ departments of the states and territories”, met for the first time yesterday.
“They’re now commencing work on implementing the decisions which had been made at National Cabinet,” he said.
“We’ll now be drafting instructions for the Commonwealth components of legislative changes.
“Some of those drafting instructions will be issued tomorrow, others will be immediately after Christmas.”
