AMENDMENT BILL 2011
Clause 1:
This provides the short title to be used when citing the Act for any legal
purpose.
Clause 2:
The Act commences on 1 July 2011, even if Royal Assent has to occur later.
Clause 3:
This Clause identifies the Principal Act which is to be amended by this Bill.
Clause 4:
This clause amends Schedule 1 of the Principal Act by inserting a new clause
3EA after clause 3E.
Clause 3E of Schedule 1 of the Act provides for the Auditor-General to
determine, by 14 July of each year, the salary rate of Tasmanian Members of
Parliament (MPs) as the equivalent to 85.19% of the basic salary of a Member
of the Commonwealth House of Representatives.
Clause 3EA amends Schedule 1 of the Act to require the Auditor-General to
determine the salary rate of Tasmanian MPs from 1 July 2011 to be 102 per cent
of the salary that applied to them from 1 July 2010, rather than using the
mechanism provided by the provisions of clause 3E.
Clause 5:
Clause 5 identifies the date of repeal of the Amendment Act as being on the
ninetieth day from the day on which it commences. The actual amendments are
incorporated into, and become part of, the Principal Act on and from the day the
Amendment Act commences.
