I refer to the clause 1 debate during the Committee of the Whole stage of the Administration Amendment Bill 2021, during which the parliamentary secretary stated that the Attorney General's working group on the Administration Act 1903 ''does exist in a form and, yes, the government is contemplating further changes to the act.''
