The Treasury sought comments on the Bill.

RLC welcomed the ACMA's decision to undertake its examination of customer services and the complaints-handing experiences of consumers within the telecommunications industry.

While RLC does not generally represent people in court who have been charged with criminal matters, we have regular contact with people who are subject to bail conditions and are experiencing other consequences as a result.

Our submission argued that the standards are not meeting their aims and have not had a significant impact on access to education for students with disability.

In this submission, RLC's view was that the review into the role and function of the TIO was overdue.

RLC welcomed the inquiry by the Australian Law Reform Commission. In 2009-2010 the Sydney Women's Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service (WDVCAS) assisted 1212 women.

This is the second submission of NACLC and other CLCs in relation to the consolidation of federal discrimination legislation.

RLC has a long history of providing legal advice to our local community, with one of our key areas of advice being for public and private tenants.

RLC strongly supports the reform of this procedure and functions of the State Debt Recovery Office to engage with vulnerable people in a way more helpful to the public interest.

RLC has a particular interest in debt and credit matters and in this regard, we have long been aware of the important role for representative proceedings and the significant place of 'cy pres' orders in achieving just outcomes.
