Notes:
- An individual PIR can cover several pieces of legislation within the same review.
- Primary PIRs tend to refer to an evaluation of specific clauses within an Act, and not a review of the full Act.
- This information is only held for internal administrative reasons and may not be exhaustive, for example, due to machinery of government changes to departmental structure in the past decade.
