Notes on Clause


1
Clause 9 Proposed new section 12A (4)

This clause amends the proposed New Section 12A, subsection 4 of the University of Canberra Amendment Bill 2005, with a provision that clarifies the full extent of Council member duties that may be sanctioned in the event they are breached.

Subsection 4 as amended by this proposed clause clarifies that if a Council member breaches subsection 1 or subsection 2 of New Section 12A, sanctions may apply. The current subsection 4 specifies that a breach of the duties specified in subsection 1 only is grounds for sanction. The purpose of this amendment is to include subsection 2 as grounds for the sanctioning of a Council member.

This amendment will ensure that new Section 12A, is compliant in all respects with the National Governance Protocol 3 (paragraphs 7.5.15 and 7.5.20).
