"THE Howard Government would use its Senate majority to push an ambitious program to shake up Australia's legal system and introduce uniform national laws, Attorney-General Philip Ruddock said yesterday.
The reform will include Australia-wide standards for sentencing, evidence and parole for federal crimes such as drug importation, tax evasion, social security fraud, terrorism and Internet crime.
The Government is also examining a national approach to personal securities laws, with a view to codifying the states' inconsistent hire purchase and bills of sale arrangements. "
