GEA RESPONSE TO NTC DISCUSSION PAPER: EXAMINING THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE LAND TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS JUNE 2020
Gas Energy Australia (GEA) appreciates the opportunity to respond to the National Transport Commission (NTC) Examining the Legal Framework for the Land Transport of Dangerous Goods Discussion Paper released in May 2020. GEA notes the Paper's self-explanatory examination and the request made by the Deputy Prime Minister that the NTC considers whether the Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code should be adopted into Australian law using the 'applied legislation' model and whether a common operations manual should be developed to be adopted by all jurisdictions to encourage a more uniform interpretation of the ADG.
