For those who care...
...about which electronic version of Commonwealth legislation is the 'authorised' version, you might be interested in the AG's proposal for legislative amendments to provide for authorised electronic versions of Commonwealth Acts and compilations of Acts.
It is proposed that new legislative provisions be introduced to allow the Department to designate a database of Acts and compilations of Acts, made available to the public, as authoritative. In practice, this would consist of the PDF documents from which printed legislation is produced, which are already available on ComLaw.
Submissions on this nailbiting issue by Feb 6, 2006 (be still my beating heart!)
update: apparently some people can't access the link to the proposal above. If you can't, just pop 'authorised electronic version acts australia' into Google.
