section 4 3
CTS INTERPRETATION ACT 1954 4
´A
Amendment 5
1. After section 9-- 6
insert-- 7
`Declaration of validity of certain laws 8
`9A. Each provision of an Act enacted, or purporting to have been 9
enacted, before the commencement of the Australia Acts has (and always 10
has had) the same effect as it would have had, and is (and always has been) 11
as valid as it would have been, if the Australia Acts had been in operation at 12
the time of its enactment or purported enactment.'. 13
14
Explanatory note
15
This amendment validates State laws enacted before the Australia Act 1986 (Cwlth
16
and Imp.) that might otherwise be invalid because of repugnance with Imperial law
17
(or their extra-territorial operation).
18
Before the enactment of the Australia Acts, a State Parliament's legislative power
19
was subject to the doctrine of repugnance. The doctrine was abolished in relation to
20
Commonwealth legislation by the Statute of Westminster 1931 (Imp.), section 2(2). It
21
was abolished in relation to State legislation by the Australia Acts, section 3(2).
22
That subsection provides--
23
`(2) No law and no provision of any law made after the commencement of this Act
24
by the Parliament of a State shall be void or inoperative on the ground that it is
25
repugnant to the law of England, or to the provisions of any existing or future Act of
26
the Parliament of the United Kingdom, or to any order, rule or regulation made under
27
any such Act, and the powers of the Parliament of a State shall include the power to
28
repeal or amend any such Act, order, rule or regulation in so far as it is part of the
29
law of the State.' (emphasis added)
7
Statute Law (Minor Amendments) (No. 2)
SCHEDULE (continued)
1
Thus, State legislation enacted after the Australia Acts cannot be challenged
2
because of repugnance. However, because of the terms of the subsection, earlier
3
State legislation technically remains open to challenge.
4
No challenge has been made to State legislation on the basis of repugnance since
5
the enactment of the Australia Acts and it is unlikely that a challenge would ever be
6
made. Nevertheless, it is desirable that the validity of earlier State legislation
7
should be put beyond doubt. Similar legislation has been enacted by other States
8
(Interpretation Act 1987 (NSW), section 34A, Acts Interpretation Act 1915 (S.A.),
9
section 22B and Acts Interpretation Act 1931 (Tas.), section 46C).
ASSOCIATIONS INCORPORATION ACT 1981 10
´
Amendment 11
1. Section 76 (as inserted by the Associations Incorporation 12
Amendment Act 1995, section 19)-- 13
relocate to part 9 and renumber as section 75A. 14
2. At the end-- 15
insert-- 16
`Declaration about amending Act's assent 17
`77.(1) To remove any doubt, it is declared that the Associations 18
Incorporation Amendment Act 1995 is, and always has been, valid, and in 19
particular that the assent purportedly given to that Act on 5 April 1995 is, 20
and always has been, valid. 21
`(2) To remove any doubt, it is also declared that the Associations 22
Incorporation Amendment Act 1995 has effect, and has always had effect, 23
as if the following change had been made to the Act from immediately 24
before assent-- 25
8
Statute Law (Minor Amendments) (No. 2)
SCHEDULE (continued)
`Clause 6, proposed new section 14-- 1
omit, insert-- 2
`Chief executive to make decision about application 3
`14.(1) After considering the association's application for incorporation 4
and any objections properly made to the application, the chief executive 5
must-- 6
(a) grant the application; or 7
(b) refuse the application. 8
`(2) This section is a law to which the Acts Interpretation Act 1954, 9
section 20A applies. 10
`(3) This section expires on the day on which it commences.'. 11
12
Explanatory note
13
Amendment 1 corrects a renumbering error.
14
Amendment 2 relates to the Associations Incorporation Amendment Bill 1995. The
15
text of the Bill that was assented to included an amendment to clause 6 that was
16
moved in, but not passed by, the Assembly. The amendment ensures that the Bill
17
was validly assented to and that the text of the resulting Act accords with the Bill as
18
passed by the Assembly.

be given for the projection of eaves and guttering.

Explanatory note
6
Amendment 1 remakes section 42 of the Act, which deals with judicial notice being
7
taken of official signatures and seals, and the fact that persons have held official
8
offices. The Act presently contains a long list of specified offices to which the
9
section applies and allows other offices to be prescribed by regulation. The list has
10
never been kept properly up to date and there are numerous provisions scattered
11
through Queensland legislation requiring judicial notice to be taken of matters dealt
12
with by the section. The amendment replaces the existing section with 2 sections.
13
The replacement section about offices and signatures simplifies and rationalises the
14
offices to which it applies. Judicial notice is required to be taken of the signature of
15
anyone who is or has been Governor, Minister, judge or magistrate, officer of any
16
court, justice of the peace or commissioner for declarations, or holds or held another
17
office of a public nature established under an Act or an office prescribed by
18
regulation for the section. Proposed schedule 1 provides examples of public offices
19
established under an Act for the proposed section. The replacement section about
20
seals requires judicial notice to be taken of any seal of an office or entity established
21
under an Act. The section also includes a restatement of the presumption of
22
regularity as it applies to official seals. The subsection will remove the need for
23
similar provisions in individual Acts.
24
Amendment 2 revises section 43 of the Act in 2 respects. First, the revised section
25
requires judicial notice to be taken of all statutory instruments (see Statutory
26
Instruments Act 1992, section 7). The existing section only applies to statutory
27
instruments made or purporting to be made by the Governor or Governor in Council.
28
This excludes, for example, statutory instruments approved by the Governor in
29
Council and statutory instruments (including subordinate legislation) made by other
30
persons and entities. Second, the revised section requires judicial notice to be taken
31
of the time when every Act or statutory instrument (or provision) commenced. The
32
existing section only requires judicial notice to be taken of the day of
33
commencement. Although it is not common, Acts and instruments occasionally
34
commence at a particular time on a particular day.
35
Amendments 3, 5, 6 and 9 are consequential on amendments 4, 7 and 8.
20
Statute Law (Minor Amendments) (No. 2)
SCHEDULE (continued)
1
Amendment 4 is consequential on amendments 7, 8, 12 and 15. It makes a similar
2
presumption of authority for documents purporting to be authorised by the
3
parliamentary counsel as existing section 46(1) makes for documents purporting to
4
be printed by the government printer.
5
Amendment 7 extend the presumption of correctness in existing section 46(2) to a
6
copy of an Act authorised by the parliamentary counsel.
7
Amendment 11 extends the presumption of correctness in existing section 46(2) to
8
copies of Acts authorised by the parliamentary counsel. This will allow the
9
parliamentary counsel to authorise, for example, electronic copies of Acts that are
10
not reprints (see Reprints Act 1992, section 47(2) for the authorisation of reprints that
11
are not in printed form).
12
Amendment 8 inserts a subsection that makes provision for subordinate legislation
13
equivalent to the provision made by existing section 46(2) (as amended by this Bill)
14
for Acts. The proposed subsection requires a copy of subordinate legislation printed
15
by the government printer or authorised by the parliamentary counsel to be taken to
16
be a correct copy unless the contrary is established. The date of making or approval
17
specified on the copy is also evidence of that date.
18
Amendment 10 is consequential on amendments 11 to 13.
19
Under the Legislative Standards Act 1992, section 7(l) and (m) the Office of the
20
Queensland Parliamentary Counsel is responsible for making arrangements for the
21
printing and publication of, and for access (in electronic form) to, Bills, Queensland
22
legislation and information relating to Queensland legislation. Amendments 11 to 13
23
allow the parliamentary counsel to authorise "legislative material", including Bills,
24
amendment of Bills, explanatory notes for Bills, and explanatory notes and
25
regulatory impact statements for subordinate legislation. Under section 47 of the Act
26
these would be admissible on their production because of the amendments.
27
Legislative materials are extrinsic materials available to assist in the interpretation
28
of legislation (see Acts Interpretation Act 1954, section 14B and Statutory Instruments
29
Act 1992 , section 15). The Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel already
30
publishes an annual volume of explanatory notes to Queensland Acts and proposes to
31
publish an annual volume of explanatory notes and regulatory impact statements for
32
Queensland subordinate legislation.
33
Amendment 14 amends section 48 of the Act to extend the evidentiary provisions of
34
the section to all subordinate legislation. The existing section applies to most, but
35
not all, types of subordinate legislation.
36
Amendment 15 allows evidence of subordinate legislation to be given by production
37
of a copy authorised by the parliamentary counsel.
38
Amendments 16 and 18 are consequential renumbering amendments.

Explanatory note
15
Amendment 1 inserts a new section under which a person can be permitted to sell a
16
declared plant without committing an offence under section 91 (Person not to sell
17
declared plant). The person must have the Minister's permission under this section,
18
and must comply with the conditions of the permission. The section does not
19
specifically limit the Minister's consideration of an application for permission, or the
20
contexts in which the permission may be sought. However, the new section will
21
allow the Minister to give permission in cases where harvesting and collection of a
22
declared plant will promote the reduction of the plant or help to contain its spread.
23
Conditions may be attached to the permission, including conditions about selling and
24
on-selling the declared plant. The section also limits the application of 2 sections of
25
the Act that might otherwise inhibit the proper operation of this section.

11
initiatives aimed at improving access to legislation, including an Acts review
12
program and a subordinate legislation review program.
13
Part of the Acts review program is the rationalisation of the types of subordinate
14
legislation. There are many different types of subordinate legislation in Queensland.
15
The different types of instruments together with the practice of making a number of
16
separate instruments under Acts makes access difficult.
17
OQPC's preference is to call an instrument of a legislative character a `regulation' if
18
it is made by the Governor in Council. By using one type of subordinate instrument
19
instead of several, it will be possible in the near future for most Acts to put all the
20
subordinate legislation made under an Act into one instrument.
21
The subordinate legislation review program has recently been set up. In conjunction
22
with OQPC's strategy to rationalise subordinate legislation types, the review is
23
relocating provisions from individual instruments to a single instrument, usually a
24
regulation.
25
In some instances OQPC is using the program to remake instruments to bring them
26
into line with current drafting practice.
27
Proposed section 46(3) makes clear that the relocating of provisions and the
28
remaking of subordinate legislation to take account of current Queensland legislative
29
drafting practice will not require the preparation of a regulatory impact statement
30
under the Statutory Instruments Act 1992, part 5 (Guidelines for regulatory impact
31
statements).
40
Statute Law (Minor Amendments) (No. 2)
SCHEDULE (continued)
1
The relocation of provisions of instruments could, in some cases, have the effect of
2
extending the automatic expiry of the provisions under the Statutory Instruments Act
3
1992, part 7 (Staged automatic expiry of subordinate legislation). Accordingly, the
4
relocation of instruments under the subordinate legislation review program would be
5
done selectively and after appropriate consultation. The relocating instrument will,
6
in any event, be subordinate legislation and subject to tabling and disallowance.
7
Because OQPC intends that its subordinate legislation review program will be
8
completed no later than the end of 1996, the amendment will expire on 31 December
9
1996.
UGAR INDUSTRY ACT 1991 10
´S
Amendment 11
1. Section 116-- 12
omit. 13
14
Explanatory note
15
This amendment omits a provision of the Act that is obsolete. The provision provides
16
for a review by the sugar corporation of the rules for the calculation of differential net
17
values per tonne of sugar included in 2 sugar pools and for a report to be made to the
18
Minister within 5 years of the commencement of the section. That report has been
19
provided. A comprehensive review of the sugar industry has since been considered
20
by Cabinet.
