Insert after clause 8:8A Disclosure of pecuniary interests
(1) If:(a) a trustee has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter being considered or about to be considered at a meeting of the Trust, and(b) the interest appears to raise a conflict with the proper performance of the trustee’s duties in relation to the consideration of the matter,the trustee must, as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to the trustee’s knowledge, disclose the nature of the interest at a meeting of the Trust.(2) A disclosure by a trustee at a meeting of the Trust that the trustee:(a) is a member, or is in the employment, of a specified company or other body, or(b) is a partner, or is in the employment, of a specified person, or(c) has some other specified interest relating to a specified company or other body or to a specified person,is a sufficient disclosure of the nature of the interest in any matter relating to that company or other body or to that person which may arise after the date of the disclosure and which is required to be disclosed under subclause (1).(3) Particulars of any disclosure made under this clause must be recorded by the Trust in a book kept for the purpose and that book must be open at all reasonable hours to inspection by any person on payment of the fee determined by the Trust.(4) After a trustee has disclosed the nature of an interest in any matter, the trustee must not, unless the Trust otherwise determines:(a) be present during any deliberation of the Trust with respect to the matter, or(b) take part in any decision of the Trust with respect to the matter.(5) For the purposes of the making of a determination by the Trust under subclause (4), a trustee who has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter to which the disclosure relates must not:(a) be present during any deliberation of the Trust for the purpose of making the determination, or(b) take part in the making by the Trust of the determination.(6) A contravention of this clause does not invalidate any decision of the Trust.(7) This clause applies to a member of a committee of the Trust and the committee in the same way as it applies to a trustee of the Trust and the Trust.
The proposed amendment requires a trustee of the Australian Museum Trust (the Trust) to disclose any pecuniary interest the trustee may have in any matter considered by the Trust that may raise a conflict with the proper performance of the trustee’s duties. After a trustee has disclosed a pecuniary interest, the trustee must not, unless the Trust otherwise determines, be present during any deliberation, or take part in any decision, of the Trust with respect to the matter.
1.2 Children (Interstate Transfer of Offenders) Act 1988 No 85
Omit paragraph (b) from the definition of Minister. Insert instead:(b) in the case of the Australian Capital Territory—a person holding Ministerial office under the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 of the Commonwealth, or
The Children (Interstate Transfer of Offenders) Act 1988 allows the Minister for Juvenile Justice to enter into certain arrangements with a Minister of another State or Territory to facilitate the transfer of young offenders to, from and through New South Wales. The proposed amendment updates the definition of Minister (in relation to the Australian Capital Territory) under that Act to reflect the change of the Australian Capital Territory to self-government.
1.3 Commercial Agents and Private Inquiry Agents Act 2004 No 70
Omit “becomes” wherever occurring. Insert instead “is”.
Sections 10 (1) and 17 (1) of the Commercial Agents and Private Inquiry Agents Act 2004 currently require the Commissioner of Police to cancel a master licence or an operator licence, respectively, if the licensee “becomes” a disqualified individual or corporation (as the case may be). This suggests that the provisions do not apply to a licensee unless the licensee becomes disqualified after being licensed. The proposed amendment amends those provisions so as to require cancellation of a licence if it is discovered that a licensee is a disqualified individual or corporation after a licence was granted as well as before it was granted.
1.4 Commission for Children and Young People Amendment Act 2005 No 108
Schedule 1 Amendment of Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998
Insert “, or otherwise attempt to obtain,” after “apply for” in proposed section 33C (1) (a) in Schedule 1 [31].

The proposed amendment makes it clear that the provision extends to a prohibited person who otherwise attempts to obtain child-related employment. A prohibited person is a person convicted of a serious sex offence, the murder of a child or a child-related personal violence offence (as defined in proposed section 33B of the Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998) or who is a registrable person within the meaning of the Child Protection (Offenders Registration) Act 2000.
1.5 Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 No 140
[1] Section 53D Annual returns and other notifications
Omit “March” from section 53D (2). Insert instead “July”.
[2] Section 53D (6), definition of “return period”
Omit “1 March and ending on the last day of February”.Insert instead “1 July and ending on 30 June”.
[3] Schedule 2 Savings and transitional provisions
Insert after clause 10:11 Annual returns and other notifications
Despite the definition of return period in section 53D (6), the return period for the year ending 30 June 2007 is, for the purposes of section 53D, to commence on 1 March 2006 rather than 1 July 2006.
Section 53D (1) of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (the Principal Act) provides that an accredited site auditor must furnish the Environment Protection Authority with a return that shows site audits that have been commenced or completed during the return period. Currently, the return period is the year commencing on 1 March and ending on the last day of February. The return must be furnished not later than the 31 March next following the end of the return period.Item [1] of the proposed amendments amends section 53D (2) of the Principal Act to provide that the return must now be furnished by a site auditor not later than the 31 July next following the end of the return period.

Insert after section 203:203AA Keeping of plans and other documents
(1) The Registrar-General may keep plans and other documents lodged with the Registrar-General under this or any other Act (whether lodged for registration or recording or for another purpose) in or on any medium or combination of media capable of having information recorded in or on it or them.(2) Subsection (1) applies regardless of whether the plans or other documents were lodged manually or electronically.(3) The Registrar-General may, from time to time, vary the manner or form in which the plans and other documents are kept.(4) This section does not apply to any plan or other document that is required to be kept in a manner or form specified in or under any other provision of this Act or in or under any provision of any other Act.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments inserts in the Conveyancing Act 1919 (the Principal Act) a provision that permits the Registrar-General to refuse to accept for lodgment under Division 3 (Plans) of Part 23 (Registration) of the Principal Act, or to register or record, a plan that purports to have been executed under a power of attorney, unless the power of attorney has been registered as provided for by the Powers of Attorney Act 2003. The proposed provision is similar to section 36 (2) of the Real Property Act 1900.Item [2] of the proposed amendments inserts proposed section 203AA in the Principal Act. The proposed section provides that the Registrar-General may keep plans or other documents lodged with the Registrar-General “in or on any medium or combination of media capable of having information recorded in or on it or them” (unless another provision of the Principal Act, or a provision of another Act, specifies the way in which the plans or documents are to be kept). Section 184C (3) and (4) of the Principal Act contain provisions to similar effect in relation to the General Register of Deeds maintained for the purposes of Division 1 (General Register of Deeds) of Part 23 (Registration) of the Principal Act.
1.7 Co-operatives Act 1992 No 18
Section 178 Effect of relevant share and voting interests on voting rights
Omit “A member” from section 178 (1).Insert instead “Subject to section 176 (5) and (6), a member”.
The proposed amendment clarifies that section 178 of the Co-operatives Act 1992, which deals with the effect of relevant shares and voting interests on voting rights, is to be read subject to section 176 (5) and (6) of that Act (which deal with joint membership and joint share holdings).

[1] Schedule 1 Indictable offences triable summarily
Omit “serious offence” from clause 15 (1) in Table 1.Insert instead “serious indictable offence”.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments updates terminology.Item [2] of the proposed amendments requires certain offences under the Royal Commissions Act 1923 or the Special Commissions of Inquiry Act 1983 to be tried summarily unless the person charged or prosecutor elects otherwise.

Insert instead:(1) This section applies to a reserve trust managed by any of the following:(a) a trust board or a corporation (other than a council) that has been appointed under section 93 or 95, but only if the land comprising the reserve for which the reserve trust has been appointed as trustee is being used, occupied or administered by a government agency (other than a rural lands protection board),(b) a council that has been appointed under section 95.
Omit “council” where firstly occurring.Insert instead “trust board, corporation or council concerned”.
Insert “trust board, corporation or” before “council”.
Insert “in the case of a reserve trust managed by a council—” before “any public”.
Section 102A of the Crown Lands Act 1989 enables a reserve trust managed by a council, if authorised to do so by the Minister for Lands, to grant a lease, licence or easement over a Crown reserve without having to obtain the Minister’s consent each time. Item [1] of the proposed amendments extends this power to reserve trusts managed by a trust board or corporation if the Crown reserve concerned is being used, occupied or administered by a government agency (other than a rural lands protection board).Items [2]–[4] are consequential amendments.
1.10 Film and Television Office Act 1988 No 18

1.11 Fisheries Management Act 1994 No 38
[1] Schedule 7 Savings, transitional and other provisions
Omit “, but only until the commencement of the management plan for the fishery” from clause 6D (2).
[2] Schedule 7, clause 6D (2A)
Insert after clause 6D (2):(2A) A shareholder in a fishery (within the extended meaning of that expression given by section 77A (8)) is not required to pay a rental charge under section 77A in respect of any period that is after the beginning of the first period for which a community contribution for right of access to the fishery is payable under the management plan for the fishery.
Clause 6D of Schedule 7 to the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (the Principal Act) is a transitional provision that provides for the continuation of the payment of rental charges under section 77A of the Principal Act for access to fisheries following the transition of those fisheries from category 2 share management fisheries to category 1 share management fisheries. The payment of charges for access to a category 1 share management fishery is normally dealt with under the management plan for the fishery. However, the management plans for the new category 1 share management fisheries are yet to commence. Currently, clause 6D provides that a shareholder in a fishery is required to pay the rental charge under section 77A of the Principal Act only until the commencement of the management plan for the fishery, but this does not take into account the possibility that the provisions of the management plan dealing with rental charges may take effect at a later date.Item [1] of the proposed amendments omits the requirement that a shareholder in a fishery is required to pay the rental charge under section 77A of the Principal Act only until the commencement of the management plan for the fishery.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides that a shareholder in a fishery is not required to pay a rental charge under section 77A of the Principal Act in respect of any period that is after the beginning of the first period for which a community contribution for right of access to the fishery is payable under the management plan for the fishery.

Insert after section 139 (2B):(2C) The regulations may provide for an application to be made to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal by a person for a review of a decision, of a class prescribed by the regulations, that is made under this Act or the regulations.(2D) A regulation referred to in subsection (2C) may be made only with the concurrence of the Minister administering the Administrative Decisions Tribunal Act 1997.
Item [1] of the proposed amendments repeals section 102 (6) and (7) of the Food Act 2003 (the Principal Act). Currently, section 102 (6) and (7) enable the regulations under the Principal Act to provide that a person may make an application to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal for a review of a decision under the regulations in relation to a licence or an application for the granting of a licence. Such a regulation may not be made without the concurrence of the Minister administering the Administrative Decisions Tribunal Act 1997.Item [2] of the proposed amendments inserts into the general regulation-making power in section 139 of the Principal Act, provisions enabling the regulations to allow a person to make an application to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal for a review of any decision made under the Principal Act or the regulations that is a decision of a class prescribed by the regulations. The concurrence of the Minister administering the Administrative Decisions Tribunal Act 1997 is required for the making of any such regulation.

Pre-paid contracts, within the meaning of the Funeral Funds Act 1979 (the Principal Act), are contracts under which a person pays for the person’s funeral before he or she dies. Section 49J of the Principal Act provides for a cooling-off period for any such contract. However, that section incorrectly states that the pre-paid contract is between the person and a pre-paid funeral fund rather than between the person and the person who agrees to supply the funeral under the contract.Items [1], [2], [4] and [5] of the proposed amendments make it clear that the cooling-off period provided for in section 49J applies to pre-paid contracts between a person and a funeral service supplier.
Items [1] and [3] of the proposed amendments allow a pre-paid contract to be ended during the cooling-off period by a person’s legal representative.

[1] Section 6 Provisions relating to constitution and procedure of development corporation
Insert after section 6 (1C):(1D) The employment of a chief executive appointed by the Minister under subsection (1A) is subject to Part 3.1 of the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002, but is not subject to Chapter 1A or 2 of that Act.
[2] Schedule 2 Provisions relating to the constitution and procedure of development corporations

Omit “An appointed member”.Insert instead “A member (other than a chief executive)”.
[5] Schedule 2, clause 6 (1) (e)
Omit “an appointed member”. Insert instead “a member”.

Items [2]–[6] exclude provisions of the Principal Act (such as term of appointment, remuneration and vacancy of office) from applying to a chief executive as these matters are dealt with under the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002.

Omit the section. Insert instead:21 False and misleading testimony
(1) Any witness before a commission who gives testimony that is false or misleading in a material particular knowing it to be false or misleading, or not believing it to be true, is guilty of an indictable offence.Maximum penalty: Imprisonment for 5 years.
(2) Sections 331 and 332 of the Crimes Act 1900 apply to proceedings for an offence against this section in the same way as they apply to proceedings for an offence under section 330 of that Act.
The object of this amendment is to bring the offence of giving false testimony that is found in section 21 of the Royal Commissions Act 1923 into line with similar offences found in section 87 of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 1988 and section 107 of the Police Integrity Commission Act 1996. In order to do this, the offence has been expanded to cover the giving of misleading testimony (currently the offence applies only to false testimony) and to cover cases where the person giving the testimony does not believe it to be true (currently the person is guilty of the offence only if that person knowingly gives the false testimony). The amendment also applies sections 331 and 332 of the Crimes Act 1900 to the offence. Section 331 of that Act provides that where a person has made 2 statements on oath and one is irreconcilably in conflict with the other, a jury can find a person guilty of the offence if it is satisfied that one of the statements was made by the accused knowing it to be false or misleading, or not believing it to be true.

Section 332 of that Act provides that an accused person cannot rely on a technical defect in an instrument to prevent it being used in evidence at his or her trial for the offence.
1.27 Security Industry Act 1997 No 157
[1] Section 26 Revocation of licence
Omit section 26 (1) (c).

Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that such a requirement is mandatory.Section 32 of the Principal Act currently provides that a person must not advertise that the person carries on or is willing to carry on any security activity unless the person is the holder of a licence that authorises the person to carry on that security activity. Item [2] of the proposed amendments provides instead that only the holder of a master licence may advertise in such a manner.

(a) in the case of a corporation—200 penalty units, or(b) in the case of an individual—100 penalty units.
Omit the item.
Omit proposed section 38B (2). Insert instead:(2) A person (the relevant person) must not, for fee or reward, supervise or monitor the performance of a person who holds a class 1 or class 2 licence unless the relevant person is:(a) the holder of a master licence, or(b) in the case of a master licence held by a corporation, government agency or public authority—the person nominated by the corporation, agency or authority for the purpose of such supervision or monitoring, or(c) the holder of a licence authorising the relevant person to carry on the security activity to which the class 1 or class 2 licence relates.Maximum penalty: 100 penalty units or imprisonment for 6 months, or both.
The proposed amendments amend uncommenced provisions of the Security Industry Act 1997 (the Principal Act) that are to be inserted by the Security Industry Amendment Act 2005.Under proposed section 14 (5) of the Principal Act, an application for a P1F licence is to be made on behalf of the applicant by the applicant’s employer (being an approved master licensee providing uniformed cash in transit security services). Item [1] of the proposed amendments removes the requirement for the application to be made by the employer and provides instead that the applicant must supply a letter of endorsement from the applicant’s employer with the application. Item [3] of the proposed amendments makes a consequential amendment.
Item [2] of the proposed amendments updates a reference to an office.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments substitutes proposed section 29A of the Principal Act to make it clear that it is an offence for the employer of the holder of a provisional licence to fail to ensure that the holder is directly supervised.
Proposed section 32 (2A) of the Principal Act makes it an offence for a person who is the holder of a provisional licence to advertise that the person carries on or is willing to carry on any security activity. Item [5] of the proposed amendments removes this offence as a consequence of the amendments proposed to be made to section 32 of the Principal Act contained elsewhere in this Schedule.
Proposed section 38B (2) of the Principal Act provides that a person must not supervise or monitor the performance of the holder of a class 1 or class 2 licence unless the person supervising or monitoring holds a master licence or a licence of the same kind as the person being supervised or monitored. Item [6] of the proposed amendments provides that in the case of a master licence held by a corporation, government agency or public authority, a person nominated by the corporation, agency or authority may also carry out such supervision or monitoring.
1.29 Special Commissions of Inquiry Act 1983 No 90
Omit the section. Insert instead:27 False and misleading testimony

(2) Sections 331 and 332 of the Crimes Act 1900 apply to proceedings for an offence against this section in the same way as they apply to proceedings for an offence under section 330 of that Act.
The object of this amendment is to bring the offence of giving false testimony that is found in section 27 of the Special Commissions of Inquiry Act 1983 into line with similar offences found in section 87 of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 1988 and section 107 of the Police Integrity Commission Act 1996. In order to do this, the offence has been expanded to cover the giving of misleading testimony (currently the offence applies only to false testimony) and to cover cases where the person giving the testimony does not believe it to be true (currently the person is guilty of the offence only if that person knowingly gives the false testimony). The amendment also applies sections 331 and 332 of the Crimes Act 1900 to the offence. Section 331 of that Act provides that where a person has made 2 statements on oath and one is irreconcilably in conflict with the other, a jury can find a person guilty of the offence if it is satisfied that one of the statements was made by the accused knowing it to be false or misleading, or not believing it to be true. It is not necessary for the jury to know which of the statements was so made. Section 332 of that Act provides that an accused person cannot rely on a technical defect in an instrument to prevent it being used in evidence at his or her trial for the offence.

Section 69 of the State Records Act 1998 establishes a Board of the State Records Authority, two members of which are to be nominated by the Minister administering the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002. The members nominated by that Minister are currently required to represent departments and declared authorities. However, as declared authorities no longer exist, items [1] and [2] of the proposed amendments remove the requirement to appoint a member to represent declared authorities and instead require both those members to represent departments.
1.31 Sydney Opera House Trust Act 1961 No 9
Omit the definition of Opera House. Insert instead:Opera House means the whole of the land comprised in Lot 4, Deposited Plan 787933, and Lot 5, Deposited Plan 775888, and includes any building, work or fixture on that land.

Omit the section.
The Sydney Opera House Trust Act 1961 (the Principal Act) provides for the establishment of the Sydney Opera House Trust (the Trust) and gives the Trust certain functions including the administration, care, control, management and maintenance of the Opera House. These functions were to apply to the Opera House in stages as various parts of it were completed and the Governor published a proclamation to that effect in the Gazette. Construction of the Opera House was completed in 1975.Items [1]–[3] of the proposed amendments remove the provisions of the Principal Act that relate to the staged transfer of authority to the Trust and instead clearly set out the land over which the Trust is to have authority.
Item [4] of the proposed amendments requires a trustee to disclose any pecuniary interest the trustee may have in any matter considered by the Trust that may raise a conflict with the proper performance of the trustee’s duties. After a trustee has disclosed a pecuniary interest, the trustee must not, unless the Trust otherwise determines, be present during any deliberation, or take part in any decision, of the Trust with respect to the matter.
Item [5] of the proposed amendments omits a provision that requires the Trust to operate only one bank account. This provision conflicts with requirements under fundraising legislation such as section 20 (6) of the Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 which requires money received in the course of a fundraising appeal to be placed in a separate account and also conflicts with section 16 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 which provides that Authorities (including the Trust) may open such accounts in such banks, building societies and credit unions and on such terms as the Treasurer determines for the banking of public money. The opening of accounts by the Trust will now be provided for under the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983.

Section 69 (2) goes on to provide that an Act or instrument can refer to a publication as in force for the time being if that intention appears in the Act or instrument and, if the intention appears in an instrument, the Act under which the instrument is made provides that such instruments may apply, adopt or incorporate publications, as in force for the time being.The object of this amendment is to allow regulations under the Sydney Water Act 1994 to apply, adopt or incorporate a standard published or adopted by Standards Australia or the New South Wales Code of Practice—Plumbing and Drainage as in force for the time being.

Item [1] of the proposed amendments makes it clear that the Western Lands Commissioner or an Assistant Commissioner are not prevented from having an interest in freehold land in the Western Division.

(Section 4)
Key1 indicates repeal of a whole Act that contains only amendments, or amendments and repeals, that have commenced and provisions that are redundant
2 indicates repeal of those provisions of an Act that contain only amendments, or amendments and repeals, that have commenced or are redundant
The repeals are explained in detail in the Explanatory note relating to this Act. In relation to the repeal of amending Acts, it should be noted that the Acts are repealed simply to rationalise the legislation in force and that the repeals have no substantive effect on the amendments made by the Acts or any associated provisions. The Acts that were amended by the Acts being repealed are up-to-date on the Legislation Database maintained by the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office and are available electronically.Section 30 (2) of the Interpretation Act 1987 ensures that, when an Act is amended or repealed, no amendment made by the Act is affected. Section 30 (2) of that Act also ensures that the following matters are not affected:
(a) the proof of any past act or thing,(b) any right, privilege, obligation or liability saved by the operation of the Act,(c) any amendment or validation made by the Act,(d) the operation of any savings or transitional provision contained in the Act.
Schedule 5 General savings, transitional and other provisions
(Section 5)
1 Effect of amendment of amending provisions
(1) An amendment made by Schedule 1 or 2 to an amending provision contained in an Act is, if the amending provision has commenced before the date of assent to this Act, taken to have effect as from the commencement of the amending provision (whether or not the amending provision has been repealed).(2) In this clause:amending provision means a provision of an Act that makes a direct amendment to an Act by:
(a) the repeal or omission of matter contained in the amended Act without the insertion of any matter instead of the repealed or omitted matter, or(b) the omission of matter contained in the amended Act and the insertion of matter instead of the omitted matter, or(c) the insertion into the amended Act of matter, not being matter inserted instead of matter omitted from the Act.This clause ensures that certain amendments, including amendments correcting errors in technical provisions (for example, headings indicating the section to be amended or directions as to where a new section is to be inserted) and rectifying minor drafting errors (for example, corrections in numbering of provisions, correction or insertion of cross-references, omission of unnecessary matter or insertion of omitted matter), will be taken to have commenced on the date the amendments to which they relate commenced.
2 Effect of amendment or repeal on acts done or decisions made
Except where it is expressly provided to the contrary, if this Act:(a) amends a provision of an Act or an instrument, or(b) repeals and re-enacts (with or without modification) a provision of an Act or an instrument,any act done or decision made under the provision amended or repealed has effect after the amendment or repeal as if it had been done or made under the provision as so amended or repealed.This clause ensures that the amendment or repeal of a provision will not, unless expressly provided, vitiate any act done or decision made under the provision as in force before the amendment or repeal.
3 Application of Interpretation Act 1987 to amendments to statutory rules
Sections 39, 40 and 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987 do not apply to any amendments to statutory rules made by this Act.This clause makes it clear that certain provisions concerning the making, tabling and disallowance of statutory rules do not apply to amendments to statutory rules made by the proposed Act.
4 Effect of amendment on instruments
(1) Except where expressly provided to the contrary, any instrument made under an Act amended by this Act, that is in force immediately before the commencement of the amendment, is taken to have been made under the Act as amended.(2) The amendment of an instrument by this Act does not prevent its later amendment or repeal by another instrument.Subclause (1) ensures that, unless expressly provided, any instrument, that is in force and made under a provision of an Act that is amended or substituted by the proposed Act, will be taken to have been made under the Act as amended.Subclause (2) ensures that the amendment of an instrument by the proposed Act does not prevent its later amendment or repeal by another instrument.
(1) The Governor may make regulations containing provisions of a savings or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of this Act.(2) Any such provision may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from the date of assent to this Act or a later date.(3) To the extent to which any such provision takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate so as:(a) to affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the date of its publication, or(b) to impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of anything done or omitted to be done before the date of its publication.This clause enables the making of regulations of a savings or transitional nature having a short term effect and relating to incidental matters arising out of the proposed Act with regard to which no specific, or sufficient, provision has been made in the Act.
