REGULATION UNDER THE CUSTOMS ACT 1901-1936.*

WHEREAS by section 112 of the Customs Act 1901-1936 it is provided that the Governor-General may, by regulation, prohibit the exportation of any goods the exportation of which would, in his opinion be harmful to the Commonwealth:

And whereas it is provided by the said section that the said power of prohibition shall extend to authorize the prohibition of the exportation of goods generally, or to any specified place, and other absolutely or so as to allow the exportation of the goods subject to any condition or restriction:

And whereas I am of opinion that the exportation of ale, porter and other beer, containing not less than two per centum of proof spirit, except with the consent of the Minister of State for Trade and Customs, would be harmful to the Commonwealth:

Now therefore, I, the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, hereby make the following Regulation under the Customs Act 1901-1936.

Dated this nineteenth day of September, 1945.

HENRY

Governor-General.

By His Royal Highness’s Command,

R. V. KEANE
