Part 2Parliamentary privilege
Preliminary provisions
11How to interpret this Part
This Part must be interpreted in a way that—
- promotes its purposes; and
- promotes the principle of comity, which requires a relationship of mutual respect and restraint between the independent legislative and judicial branches of government, each recognising the other’s proper sphere of influence and privileges; and
- ensures that the privileges, immunities, and powers exercisable by the House of Representatives, its committees, and its members are exercisable for the purposes stated in section 14.
Subsection (1) does not affect the application of Part 2 of the Legislation Act 2019 to this Act.
