Description:
In 1981 the Governor of Tasmania appointed a Royal Commission to inquire into mechanisms by which deadlocks between the two Houses of Tasmanian Parliament could be resolved. The Constitution Act 1934 provides that, save in respect of the power to initiate or amend Money Bills, the Legislative Council and the House of Assembly shall possess equal powers in respect of all matters, but does not provide any mechanism to settle disagreements which may arise between the Houses in the exercise of those powers. ;;The Commission proceedings ran from December 1981 to March 1982. The Commission was chaired by Brian A Beaumont.
