EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

STATUTORY RULES 1991 No. 220

Australian National Maritime Museum Act 1990

Australian National Maritime Museum Regulations Amendment

The Australian National Maritime Museum Act 1990 (the Act) established the Australian National Maritime Museum as a statutory authority on 20 December 1990. Regulations have been made under Subsections 53 and 54(1) of the Act to assist the operations of the Museum.

The Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances raised objection to two of the Regulations: that referring to penalties for parking infringements (Regulation 7) and that referring to unauthorised use of maritime historical material under the control of the Museum (Regulation 15).

Regulation 1 provides for the amendment of the Regulations.

Regulation 2 alters the penalty for illegal parking from $500 to $100 under Regulation 7 (Motor vehicles, water craft etc); and

Regulation 3 makes the offence under Regulation 15 (publishing, copying, selling etc. of Museum material), one of knowingly making unauthorised use of any maritime historical material under the control of the Museum.

Authorised by the Minister for the Arts, Tourism and Territories
