Albanese government will abolish ‘irreversibly damaged’ Administrative Appeals Tribunal
Albanese government will abolish the administrative appeals tribunal
The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, has stepped up and he gets straight to the point:
I’m announcing the Albanese government will abolish the administrative appeals tribunal, the AAT, and replace it with an administrative review body that better serves the interest of the Australian community.
The AAT’s public standing has been irreversibly damaged as a result of the actions of the former government over nine years.
By appointing 85 former Liberal MPs, former Liberal staffers and other close Liberal associates without any merit-based selection process, including some individuals with no relevant experience or expertise, the former government fatally compromised the AAT, undermined its independence, and eroded the quality and efficiency of its decision-making.
This was a disgraceful exhibition of cronyism by the Liberal party.
