Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority Amendment (Sport Integrity Australia) Bill 2019

Explanatory Memorandum

(Circulated by authority of the Minister for Youth and Sport, Senator the Hon Richard Colbeck)

SCHEDULE 3 - CONTINGENT AMENDMENTS

Part 1 - First Contingency

Part 2 - Second Contingency

The amendments in Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 3 are expressed to be contingent, as they have been drafted to take account of various scenarios concerning the commencement of the Enhancing Capability Act. Relevantly, the Enhancing Capability Bill will amend the ASADA Act to abolish the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel (ADRVP). The amendments in Part 1 of Schedule 3 are drafted on the basis that the amendments abolishing the ADRVP have not commenced. In this scenario, the amendments to s 50F of the ASADA Act will have the effect that Sport Integrity Australia and the ADRVP together are a listed entity for the purposes of the finance law, known as Sport Integrity Australia.

The amendments in Part 2 of Schedule 3 are drafted on the basis that the amendments abolishing the ADRVP have commenced, and it is no longer mentioned in s 50F of the ASADA Act. The amendments proposed by the Schedule will consequentially replace all references to 'the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority' in s 50F with references to 'Sport Integrity Australia'.
