REASONS F'OR JUDGMENT
This application under 5.5 of the Aaministrative
Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (Cth) ("the Judicial
Review Act") involves an examination of the legislative provisions governing the promotion of officers of the Australian Capital Territory Fire Brigade ("the Brigade") and the appointment of such officers to act temporarily in a higher rank. That examination has demonstrated beyond doubt that the legislative provisions arc in urgent need of complete revision.
