NICOLE McKEE (ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I stand on behalf of the ACT Party to once again support this Remuneration Authority Legislation Bill. It's a straightforward bill that transfers the responsibility for determining the remuneration of some judicial and statutory officers away from the Cabinet fees framework and to the Remuneration Authority. The Cabinet fees framework was first introduced in 1997 and is administered by the Public Service Commission. The commission give guidance to agencies around setting fees that are not set by the Remuneration Authority or by the fees methodology managed by Treasury. The bodies that are covered by the Cabinet fees framework include Crown entities; some trust boards; advisory boards; royal commissions; public, Government and ministerial inquiries; some statutory tribunals; and other statutory bodies not covered by the Remuneration Authority, and some subsidiary bodies.
