The evidence presented in this inquiry clearly demonstrates that Aboriginal people are under-represented at all levels of government, even though several NSW Aboriginal people have been elected to local government in recent years. The conclusions seek to provide ways to overcome the problem and enhance Aboriginal participation.

This Inquiry considered a range of issues associated with a possible New South Wales law for same-sex marriage ...Much of the evidence focused on the merits of the case for same-sex marriage rather than the operation of the law itself ... The Committee also heard detailed evidence about the law from a number of experts. The two key legal questions were whether the New South Wales Parliament could legislate on the subject of marriage and, if it did, whether a law for same-sex marriage would be operative. The Committee reached the conclusion that the New South Wales Parliament has the power to legislate on the topic of marriage, including same-sex marriage. However, if New South Wales chooses to exercise thatpower and enact a law for same-sex marriage, the law could be subject to challenge in the High Court of Australia."--Executive summary.
