Possible Abolition
The New South Wales Government enacted the Mental Health Act 2007 on 15 June 2007. When this law commences, the present tribunal constituted under the Mental Health Act 1990 will cease to exist, and a new tribunal under section 140 of the Mental Health Act 2007 will be created in its place. There is no indication at present when this new law will commence.

Famous quotes containing the word abolition:
“It was a marvel, an enigma in abolition latitudes, that the slaves did not rise en-masse, at the beginning of hostilities.”
—Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
