The Government has given an indication about the fate of the lapsed Treasury Laws Amendment (Modernising Business Communications) Bill 2022 which amongst other things permitted electronic delivery of a wide range of documents in the National Credit Act. Background.
Treasury is consulting on a new part of an amended Treasury Laws Amendment (Modernising Business Communications) Bill 2022: Virtual hearings and examinations which will permit Treasury portfolio regulators (including ASIC and APRA) to hold hearings and examinations virtually.
