QMV Legal Monthly Regulatory Update - January 2024

 

After a busy December, it was a quiet month in January with Parliament still on summer recess meaning no new legislation was introduced nor progressed.

However, the long-awaiting Final Report from the Australian Law Reform Commission was published, including 58 recommendations for reducing complexity with financial services legislation.

Additionally, Treasury moved us one step closer to mandating climate-related financial disclosures with an Exposure Draft into the regime released.

Finally, the Department of Home Affairs released a consultation into cyber-security regulation with the intention to strengthen the underlying legislation surrounding business practices.
