(b) if the postponed law is a provision of an Act--the Act that enacts 13

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)

as if the Act mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) included a provision that 2
had commenced and authorised the regulation to be made. 3
`(5) This section-- 4
(a) only applies to a postponed law enacted after 31 December 1994; 5
and 6
(b) applies to a postponed law unless an Act expressly states it does 7
not apply. 8
9
Example--
10
The Hypothetical Act 1995 was assented to on 5 April 1995 and was expressed to
11
commence on a day to be fixed by proclamation. If the Act was not commenced by
12
5 April 1996, it would commence on 6 April 1996 under subsection (2) unless a
13
regulation had been made under subsection (3) extending time for commencement.'.
2. Section 20(3)-- 14
omit, insert-- 15
`(3) This section does not affect the following provisions-- 16
· Criminal Code, section 11 (Effect of changes in law) 17
· Penalties and Sentences Act 1992, section 180 (Effect of 18
alterations in sentences).'. 19
3. Section 20A(2)-- 20
omit `another', insert `an'. 21
4. In Pt 6 (after s 22B)-- 22
insert-- 23
`Automatic repeal of amending Act 24
`22C.(1) An amending Act enacted after 30 June 1994 is automatically 25
repealed at the beginning of the day after all of its provisions have 26
commenced. 27
9
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
`(2) In this section-- 1
"amending Act" means an Act that consists only of provisions of the 2
following types-- 3
(a) the Act's long title; 4
(b) the Act's preamble (if any); 5
(c) a provision about the Act's citation; 6
(d) a provision (if any) about the Act's commencement; 7
(e) a provision providing for the amendment or repeal of an Act or 8
other instrument; 9
(f) a provision declaring an Act or a provision of an Act to be a law 10
to which section 20A applies. 11
12
Example 1--
13
The Hypothetical Amending Act 1995 amends the ABC Act and the LMN Act. It
14
also repeals a list of Acts set out in a Schedule. Apart from--
15
· a long title
16
· a provision about the Act's citation (that is, the Act's short title)
17
· a provision about the Act's commencement
18
· amending provisions (that is, provisions stating that the ABC Act and the
19
LMN Act are amended and the provisions amending the Acts)
20
· repealing provisions (that is, a provision stating that the Acts set out in
21
the Schedule are repealed and a Schedule)
22
· a provision about the application of s20A to a provision being repealed,
23
the Hypothetical Amending Act 1995 contains no other provisions. Its repealing
24
provisions commence on assent, 21 March 1995. Its amending provisions commence
25
on proclamation, 12 April 1995. Under subsection (1), the Hypothetical Amending
26
Act 1995 is automatically repealed at the beginning of 13 April 1995.
27
Example 2--
28
The Example Act 1995 contains provisions establishing a new scheme. It also
29
amends several Acts and repeals others. Because it contains the scheme provisions,
30
it is not an amending Act covered by subsection (1).'.

appears in the instrument of, or evidencing the, appointment to act. 20

merely because the person acts in another office. 22
11
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
`(7E) To avoid any doubt, it is declared that subsections (7A) to (7D) do 1
not change the law of Queensland.'. 2
11. Section 24B(9)(b) and (c)-- 3

`(b) the appointment had ended; or 5
(c) the occasion for the person to act had not arisen or had ended.'. 6
12. Section 24B(13)-- 7
omit, insert-- 8
`(13) Writing purporting to be, or to contain, an appointment, or the 9
ending of an appointment under subsection (3)(b), is evidence of the 10

13. Section 32D (other than examples)-- 12
omit, insert-- 13
`References to persons generally 14
`32D.(1) In an Act, a reference to a person generally includes a reference 15
to a corporation as well as an individual. 16
`(2) Subsection (1) is not displaced merely because there is an express 17

14. Section 33(5B)-- 19
omit `of a department of government without specifying a particular 20
department', 21
insert `without specifying a particular unit of the public sector'. 22
12
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
15. Section 33(5B)(a) and (b)-- 1
omit `department of government', insert `unit of the public sector'. 2
16. Section 33(5C)-- 3
omit `the chief executive of a department of government', 4
insert `a chief executive'. 5
17. After section 33-- 6
insert-- 7
`References to States include Territories 8
`33A.(1) In an Act, a reference to a State (other than a reference to 9
Queensland or a particular State by name) includes a reference to the 10
Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. 11
12
Examples--
13
`a law of a State' includes a law of the Australian Capital Territory and a law of
14
the Northern Territory.
15
`a law of the Commonwealth or another State' includes a law of the Australian
16
Capital Territory and a law of the Northern Territory.
`(2) Subsection (1) is not displaced merely because there is an express 17
reference to a Territory elsewhere in the Act. 18
`(3) This section applies to an Act enacted before 1 July 1994 only if the 19
Act includes a definition to the effect that a reference to a State includes a 20
reference to a Territory.'. 21
18. Section 36 (definition "chief executive")-- 22
omit, insert-- 23
` "chief executive"-- 24
(a) for a unit of the public sector specified by name--means the chief 25
executive (however described) under whose control the unit is 26
placed; or 27
13
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
(c) in any other case--has the meaning given by section 33;'. 1
2
Explanatory note
3
Automatic commencement of postponed law--amendment 1
4
A Bill often provides that the Act or provision of the Act is to commence on a day
5
fixed by an instrument such as a proclamation. This allows flexibility about when
6
the Act or provision will commence. Flexibility is particularly useful if preparation
7
(for example, conducting community information programs or making a regulation) is
8
necessary before the legislation operates and preparation length is uncertain.
9
Section 15D deals with commencement by proclamation or other instrument.
10
Proposed section 15DA reinforces Parliament's control by setting an outer limit for
11
commencement. To allow ample time for the integration of this new limit into the
12
legislation's administrative implementation, the limit only applies to Acts enacted
13
from 1 January 1995--proposed subsection (5)(a).
14
Proposed subsection (2) automatically commences an uncommenced Act or
15
provision of an Act 1 year after the Act receives assent. Proposed subsection (3)
16
then allows the outer limit to be extended to 2 years by regulation. Proposed
17
subsection (4) deals with the situation where there would otherwise not be power to
18
make a regulation.
19
This automatic commencement applies unless the Act itself expressly states that it
20
does not--see proposed subsection (5)(b).
21
Amendment 2
22
Section 20 deals with the saving of operation of repealed, amended or expired
23
provisions. The proposed amendment recasts existing subsection (3) more simply.
24
Amendment 3
25
Section 20A continues the effect of saving, transitional, validating and declared
26
provisions after their repeal. Existing subsection (2) allows one Act to declare
27
another Act or a provision of another Act to be a declared law whose effect is
28
continued after it is repealed. The proposed amendment makes it possible for an Act
29
to declare itself, or a provision of it, to be a declared law. This is an efficient way to
30
use the section and will assist in ensuring that the Queensland statute book remains
31
free of `deadwood'.
32
Automatic repeal of amending Act--amendment 4
33
Ensuring that the Queensland Statute Book is of the highest standard is one of the
34
statutory functions of the Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel--see
35
Legislative Standards Act 1992, section 7(j).
14
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
1
The repeal of legislation that itself repealed or amended other legislation does not
2
affect what the repealed legislation had done to the other legislation--Acts
3
Interpretation Act, section 19 (Repealed Acts etc. not revived).
4
Proposed section 22C is designed to assist maintenance of the Statute Book by
5
ensuring the on-going automatic removal from the Statute Book of legislation that
6
merely amends or repeals other legislation.
7
In addition, an on-going review by the Office and Departments is examining
8
legislation currently on the statute book to decide whether it should be retained or
9
whether it may be removed because it has no continuing operation. Those identified
10
as appropriate for removal are then repealed.
11
Once a reprint of amended legislation is available, any legislation that had amended
12
it is also identified as appropriate for removal by repeal.
13
The repeal of legislation identified as appropriate for removal is usually done in a
14
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act. For example, see section 4 and
15
Schedule 3 to this Act.
16
Acting appointments--amendments 512
17
Amendments 59 and 1112 simplify section 24B (Acting appointments) by
18
replacing the concepts of `termination', `cessation' and `filling' with the single
19
concept of `ending'.
20
Amendment 10 inserts proposed subsections (7A) to (7D) to clarify what happens
21
when a new or existing appointee takes up or resumes an office in which someone
22
has been acting. The period of acting ends under subsection (7A) or (7B) as
23
appropriate.
24
Because of subsection (7C), the acting appointment will end even if the instrument
25
of appointment to act stated, for example, that the appointee was to act `until further
26
advised'. However, a standing appointment to act, for example, during an office
27
holder's absence, allows further periods of acting during the office holder's
28
subsequent absences.
29
Subsection (7D) ensures that, after the acting appointment ends, the acting
30
appointee generally resumes duty in the office (if any) to which the acting appointee
31
had been substantively appointed.
32
Subsection (7E) makes it clear that subsections (7A) to (7D) do not represent a
33
change of law. As is typical of many provisions of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954,
34
the provisions are explanatory and declaratory in nature.
35
References to persons generally include corporations and
36
individuals--amendment 13
37
"[P]erson" is defined as including an individual and a corporation--see section 36.
15
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
1
Proposed subsection 32D(1) complements this definition. Existing section 32D is
2
merely restated in proposed subsection (2) in a clearer way.
3
Chief executive--amendments 1416 and 18
4
Existing section 33(5B) and (5C) give meaning to a reference to a `chief executive'
5
of a government department without specifying a particular department. Proposed
6
amendments 14 to 16 extend the application of the subsections. They will give
7
meaning to a reference to a `chief executive' of a unit of the public sector (including
8
a government department) without specifying the particular unit. This will avoid the
9
need for an Act to include the rather obvious definition of "chief executive" as
10
meaning the chief executive of the department administering the Act.
11
Proposed amendment 18 is a consequential amendment.
12
References to States include Territories--amendment 17
13
"State" is defined as meaning a State of the Commonwealth and including the
14
Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the Northern Territory (NT)--see section 36.
15
Amendment 17 inserts a new section 33A. Proposed section 33A(1) complements
16
this definition while making it clear that the section does not apply to references to
17
Queensland (for example, `the State') or named States (for example, `Victoria').
18
Proposed subsection (2) covers the situation where in an Act there are references to
19
a State and express references to a Territory. Of themselves, the express references
20
to a Territory elsewhere in the Act do not displace the inclusion of a reference to the
21
ACT and the NT in a reference to a State.
22
Proposed subsection (3) provides that the section applies to an Act enacted before 1
23
July 1994 only if the Act includes a definition to the effect that a reference to a State
24
includes a reference to a Territory. Acts enacted before then were usually drafted on
25
the assumption that references to the States did not include references to the
26
Territories. Inclusion in an Act of a definition of the type mentioned in the proposed
27
subsection (3) is one way in which the assumption is displaced for an Act.
BRANDS ACT 1915 28
´
Amendment 29
1. Section 6(5) (paragraph starting `Provided that this provision')-- 30
insert-- 31
`(f) a mark or cut on a head of cattle authorised under another Act.'. 32
16
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
1
Explanatory note
2
The provision mentioned prohibits the making of cuts or marks on any head of cattle
3
other than registered cattle earmarks. The list of exceptions that the new paragraph is
4
added to did not specify the possibility that another Act may allow a cut or mark.
5
The amendment cures this deficiency.
BRISBANE FOREST PARK ACT 1977 6
´
Amendments 7
1. Section 5-- 8
omit, insert-- 9
`Brisbane Forest Park 10

Explanatory note
4
Amendments 103, 106 and 107 allow the Governor in Council to make regulations for
5
the election of district canegrower's executive members from mill suppliers'
6
committees. Amendment 105 continues the term of office of the members of the
7
Queensland Cane Growers' Council. Amendments 112 and 113 clarify a reference to
8
forms. Amendment 122, by inserting proposed section 56, validates an order in
9
council made on 30 June 1990 which purported to transfer the assets of the
10
Queensland Butter Board to the Butter Producers' Federation. The same
11
amendment, by inserting proposed section 57, provides for the dissolution of the
12
Council of Agriculture, a body that represented commodity boards and organisations
13
under the Act but has been inactive for a number of years. The amendment also
14
transfers its assets and liabilities to the Queensland Farmers' Federation Ltd, a body
15
that represents Queensland farmers and has agreed to accept the assets and
16
liabilities.
17
The remaining amendments provide for the prescription of certain matters by
18
regulation rather than by order in council in accordance with current drafting
19
practice.

Because of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954, particularly section 24B(8)(b) (which

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)

Explanatory note
2
Definitions "law" and "referential words"--amendments 1 and 2
3
The Reprints Act 1992 allows laws to be reprinted.
4
"[L]aw" is currently defined to include agreements having the force of law.
5
Amendment 1 will extend reprinting advantages (such as consolidation of
6
amendments) to agreements and other instruments that are incorporated in legislation
7
(for example, set out in a Schedule to legislation) or attached to the legislation.
8
"[R]eferential words is defined as particular words `or words to that or similar effect,
9
occurring in conjunction with a number to designate a provision of the law in which
10
the words appear' (emphasis added). An example of referential words is `section 12
11
thereof'. Amendment 2 proposes to extend the definition to words to the effect of the
12
particular words, or words to that or similar effect, occurring in conjunction with a
13
number to designate a provision of another law.
14
The Reprints Act 1992, section 41 will then operate to authorise the omission in a
15
reprint of unnecessary referential words--see also section 7(1)(g). This enables a
16
law to be reprinted without the clutter of unnecessary referential words.
17
Express translator provision for remade law--amendment 3
18
Section 22 (Remade law or provision) allows references to a law or provision to be
19
updated.
20
It is often difficult to decide whether a particular law or provision has been remade
21
as another law or provision. In a difficult case, it is helpful to have an express
22
provision stating that a reference to, for example, section 123 of the Old Act is taken
23
to be a reference to section 456 of the New Act. Amendment 3 will insert new
24
subsection (4) to facilitate the incorporation of updated references in reprints.
25
Existing subsection (4) has been remade as new subsection (5). It also includes a
26
definition of "remade".
27
Current drafting practice (age)--amendments 4 and 7
28
These amendments make minor amendments of examples to bring them into line
29
with current drafting practice.
30
Current drafting practice (miscellaneous)--amendment 5
31
Section 29 allows editorial power to be used in a reprint to express matters
32
consistently with current legislation drafting practice--see also section 7(1)(c)
33
(Editorial changes). Extensive examples are given. Amendment 5 inserts 6 further
34
examples.
35
To avoid difficulties in interpreting the hybrid `and/or', it is not used in current
36
Queensland legislative drafting. American judicial comment on the hybrid has been
78
Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions)
SCHEDULE 1 (continued)
1
critical of its use--
2
`It is manifest that we are confronted with the task of first construing "and/or", that
3
befuddling, nameless thing, that Janus-faced verbal monstrosity, neither word nor
4
phrase, the child of a brain of someone too lazy or too dull to express his precise
5
meaning, or too dull to know what he did mean, now commonly used by lawyers in
6
drafting legal documents, through carelessness or ignorance or as a cunning device to
7
conceal rather than express meaning with the view to furthering the interests of their
8
clients. We have even observed the "thing" in statutes, in the opinions of courts,
9
and in statements in briefs of counsel, some learned and some not.'. (Supreme Court
10
of Wisconsin, quoted in R. Dick, Legal Drafting, Carswell, 1985, 2nd ed, p 105).
11
Proposed example 26 highlights that current practice uses `or' where `and/or' might
12
previously have been used. The disjunctive `or' most closely approximates to the
13
disused hybrid.
14
Proposed example 27 highlights another current practice that is supported by the Acts
15
Interpretation Act 1954, section 33 (References to Ministers, departments and chief
16
executives). General references are currently used to avoid the need for numerous
17
consequential amendments if administrative arrangements or office titles change.
18
Proposed examples 28 to 30 deal with current drafting practices about provision
19
references.
20
Proposed example 31 deals with current drafting practice about references to laws of
21
other jurisdictions.
22
Redundant examples--amendment 6
23
Proposed example 2 clarifies the scope of section 39 (Omission of obsolete and
24
redundant provisions) by examples of definitions that have become redundant
25
because of amendments of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954.

Explanatory note
4
Amendment 6 omits section 6. Section 6 is a `Henry VIII' provision, that is, a
5
provision that allows an Act to be amended by a statutory instrument. Specifically it
6
allows further parcels of land to be added to the Schedules by way of an order in
7
council. The effect of the amendment is that in future the Schedules may only be
8
amended by another Act, as for any other amendment.
9
Amendments 1 to 5 are consequential on the omission of section 6. They clarify the
10
operation of the relevant provisions of the Act on parcels of land according to the
11
time the parcels were specified in the Act.
12
Amendment 7 inserts a further 3 parcels of land into Schedule 1. This land is held in
13
trust for the Church. By being specified in Schedule 1, it is vested in the appropriate
14
trustee.
