Financial Framework (Supplementary Powers) Regulations 1997

1. 1

   In the appropriate position in Part 4 of Schedule 1AB (table)

Insert:

567	Improve the Long‑term Sustainability of the South East Trawl Fishery and Support Fishers	To assist local industry to manage the impact of management changes in the Commonwealth South East Trawl Fishery in response to the decline in numbers of important commercial fish species, including by providing funding to eligible fishers in the Commonwealth South East Trawl Fishery who surrender their statutory fishing rights. This includes assisting local industry to manage the impact of any closure of parts of the Commonwealth South East Trawl Fishery that might result from such management changes. This objective has the effect it would have if it were limited to providing funding for measures with respect to places, persons, matters or things external to Australia.
568	Bolstering Australia’s Biosecurity System—Protecting Australia from escalating exotic animal disease risks	To prepare for, and strengthen Australia’s ability to respond to, escalating biosecurity risks from countries to the north of Australia. This includes measures to: (a) prevent the entry into, and spread within, Australia of foot and mouth disease and lumpy skin disease; and (b) enhance capability in northern Australia to detect and respond to the arrival of other exotic pests and diseases; and (c) combat the spread of foot and mouth disease, lumpy skin disease and other emerging animal diseases in countries in the Indo‑Pacific region. This objective has the effect it would have it if were limited to measures: (a) in connection with quarantine; or (b) to give effect to Australia’s obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity, particularly Articles 7 and 8; or (c) with respect to places, persons, matters or things external to Australia or matters affecting Australia’s relationship with foreign countries; or (d) involving the granting of financial assistance to a State or Territory.
569	National Forest Products Innovation	To provide funding to enhance Australia’s productivity and competitiveness through forestry research, development and innovation and to improve Australia’s sovereign capability in timber production, including by: (a) providing funding to establish and support the operation of an Australia‑wide National Institute for Forest Products Innovation, comprising a central hub and regional research centres, to support forestry research and innovation; and (b) continuing funding for the establishment and operation (including the provision of extension services) of Regional Forestry Hubs; as a measure that is peculiarly adapted to the government of a nation and cannot otherwise be carried on for the benefit of the nation. The objective also has the effect it would have it if were limited to measures with respect to postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services (within the meaning of paragraph 51(v) of the Constitution).
570	Support Regional Trade Events	To provide funding to support industry events and forums that foster and encourage interstate and overseas trade and commerce by promoting agricultural sectors in Australia, including businesses that are in or support these sectors.
