Family Law Legislation Amendment (Superannuation) Bill 2000 – extension of deadline for submissions Source: SenateSuper 'Media Releases' 8th June 2000 This material is reproduced by permission but does not purport to be the official or authorised version. The accuracy of the content is not guaranteed. Please rely only on the authorised document. On 10 May, the provisions of the Family Law Legislation Amendment (Superannuation) Bill 2000 were referred to the Committee for inquiry and report. The Bill will amend the Family Law Act 1975 to provide for the division of superannuation interests on marriage breakdown. The Committee advertised the inquiry last month, calling for submissions to be received by 5 June. However, the Committee has now sought an extension of time in which to report to 31 October, and has therefore extended the date by which submissions should be lodged to the end of August. Interested persons and organisations are invited to contact the Committee Secretary to discuss the lodgement of submissions. The reason for extending the deadline for receipt of submissions is to allow interested persons and organisations the opportunity to comment on the package of reform, including the consequential regulations and amendments to other legislation which are in development.
