Abstract
Chair’s Preface
Most Parliaments in Australia and New Zealand now accept electronic versions of documents for tabling and publish them on the internet in tabled papers databases.
As the internet is one of the most frequently used methods for people to learn about the work of their Parliament, the Committee believes that tabled papers which are ‘public documents’ should be accessible from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly’s website.
Apart from improving access to tabled papers by Members, the media and the general public, the Committee heard other Parliaments have also found that electronic tabling of documents decreases the workload of the Table Office and reduces costs for government agencies required to table reports. However, on-going accessibility of electronic documents was raised as an issue of concern. Consequently, all jurisdictions still require at least one hard copy of all documents for tabling and archiving.,
