3  Object of this Act
 (1) The object of this Act is to provide for a commission to be established by the Houses of the Parliament to investigate, and report to them on, alleged misbehaviour or incapacity of a Commonwealth judicial officer, so they can be well‑informed to consider whether to pray for his or her removal under paragraph 72(ii) of the Constitution.
 (2) To avoid doubt, subsection (1) does not imply that:
 (a) an Act is needed for such a commission to be established; or
 (b) such a commission is the only means by which the Houses of the Parliament can be well‑informed to consider whether to pray for the removal of a Commonwealth judicial officer under paragraph 72(ii) of the Constitution.
