Computerisation and the Production of Legislation in Tasmania 

Lynley Hocking*

The Legislation System Project (LSP) is an information systems development project designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the legislation production process by providing a computerised drafting environment, document tracking and the automatic consolidation of amendments. This paper discusses the implementation of the system in relation to the legislation production process and concludes that, while the system may have a great impact on the drafting of legislation, it is unlikely to have a major direct substantive impact on the broader legislation production process.
