Inquiry into Powers of Attorney
Transcripts of Evidence from Public Hearings
The Committee may invite witnesses to a public hearing, to make representations directly to the members of the Committee and to answer questions put by the Committee. This allows the Committee to follow up points of interest and concern and often lets people who have made a submission amplify points and give additional information.
Public hearings are recorded and a transcript of evidence prepared, to ensure that the Committee has an accurate record of proceedings.
Following is the program of past public hearings and the transcripts of evidence given for the Inquiry into Powers of Attorney:
