To avoid doubt, this Schedule does not affect provisions of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 of the Commonwealth as they apply in relation to enactments because of section 8A of this Act.

Part 2—Commonwealth Minister’s roles

Division 1—Commonwealth Minister’s roles

Subdivision A—General rule

5  Roles belonging to a Minister, an executive member or the Administrator before the interim transition time

(1)  For the operation of an enactment at or after the interim transition time, a reference in an enactment to either of the following is taken to be a reference to the Commonwealth Minister:

(a)  a Minister or an executive member (however described, and whether identified by a specific title or not);

(b)  the Administrator.

(2)  Subclause (1) has effect subject to Subdivision B.

(3)  Subclause (1) does not apply (of its own force or because of section 7 of this Act) to:

(a)  the Education Act 1931; or

(b)  the Education Regulations; or

(e)  the Social Services Act 1980; or

(f)  the Social Services Regulations.

(4)  To avoid doubt, subclause (1) applies in relation to an enactment even if the enactment contains one or more references to the Commonwealth Minister (whether or not any of those references were included in the enactment before, at or after the interim transition time).

Transitional—things done before the interim transition time

(5)  If, under an enactment as affected by subclause (1), the exercise of a power, or the performance of the function or duty, by the Commonwealth Minister at or after the interim transition time is affected by the doing of anything before that time, the enactment has effect as if anything that was done by or in relation to a Minister or the Administrator before that time had been done by or in relation to the Commonwealth Minister.

Note:          For example, if:

(a)    the enactment provides (apart from subclause (1)) that the Minister may issue a licence if a person applies to the Minister for it; and

(b)    an application was made to the Minister before the interim transition time but no decision was made by that time about issuing a licence;

the Commonwealth Minister may issue the licence after that time as if the application had been made to the Commonwealth Minister.

(6)  This clause does not affect the validity at or after the interim transition time of anything done before that time by a Minister or the Administrator.

Note:          For example, a licence validly issued by a Minister under an enactment before the interim transition time continues to be valid for the purposes of the enactment at and after that time.

Subdivision B—Exceptions to general rule, and other special rules

  1. Modification of prerequisites for Commonwealth Minister to take action under clause 5

(1)  This clause applies if:

(a)  an enactment is expressed (ignoring subclause 5(1)) to make:

(i)  a recommendation (however described) about a matter; or

(ii)  an approval (however described) of a matter;

by an authority established or appointed by or under an enactment, a prerequisite for a Minister or the Administrator to exercise a power or perform a function or duty; and

(b)  the Commonwealth Minister has that power, function or duty because of subclause 5(1).

(2)  The Commonwealth Minister may exercise the power or perform the function or duty without receiving or following the authority’s recommendation about the matter or approval of the matter.

7  Money to be paid or given to the Norfolk Island Regional Council instead of a Minister

If an enactment is expressed (ignoring subclause 5(1)) to require or permit an amount to be paid (however described) or given (however described) to a Minister or the Administrator, the enactment has effect as if it required or permitted (as the case requires) the amount to be paid or given to the Norfolk Island Regional Council.

Note:          Some examples of such enactments are ones that (ignoring subclause 5(1)) say that a fee is payable to a Minister or that an application is to be made to a Minister and accompanied by a fee.

8  Commonwealth Minister not required to interact with himself or herself

(1)  The Commonwealth Minister need not comply with a requirement that:

(a)  is imposed on the Commonwealth Minister by an enactment (as affected by subclause 5(1) or otherwise); and

(b)  because of that subclause, is a requirement for the Commonwealth Minister to do something in relation to the Commonwealth Minister:

(i)  before taking another action; or

(ii)  in the process of taking another action; or

(iii)  after taking another action.

Note:          Some examples of a requirement to which this clause applies are if an enactment (ignoring subclause 5(1)) says:

(a)    the Administrator may do something on the advice of a Minister; or

(b)    the Administrator must give the Minister or the Commonwealth Minister notice of a decision or action the Administrator has taken.

(2)  To avoid doubt, if the Commonwealth Minister takes the other action, its validity is not affected merely because the Commonwealth Minister did not or does not comply with the requirement.

Note:          This also applies to action by a delegate of the Commonwealth Minister.

9  Special rules relating to the Legislative Assembly

Requirements relating to the Legislative Assembly that need not be complied with

(1)  A person or body need not comply with a requirement imposed by an enactment on the person or body to do either of the following:

(a)  give (however described) a thing to the Legislative Assembly, a committee of the Legislative Assembly or an officer or member of the Legislative Assembly;

(b)  act consistently (however described) with a resolution or recommendation of the Legislative Assembly.

Failure to comply with the requirement does not affect the validity of any act.

Note 1:       Enactments may use various verbs to express requirements to give something to the Legislative Assembly, a committee of the Legislative Assembly, or an officer or member of the Legislative Assembly. Some examples of such verbs are giving, furnishing, laying before, presenting to, tabling, notifying, advising and providing.

Note 2:       Enactments may express in various ways a requirement for a person or body to act consistently with a resolution or recommendation of the Legislative Assembly. For example enactments may refer to a person or body doing something in accordance with a resolution of the Assembly, on the recommendation of the Assembly or on an address from the Assembly.

Acts valid despite absence of action relating to the Legislative Assembly

(2)  Despite an enactment providing for a thing to be done by or in relation to the Legislative Assembly:

(a)  before a power can be exercised, or a function or duty performed, by an authority other than the Assembly; or

(b)  in connection with the exercise of a power, or the performance of a function or duty, by such an authority;

the power may be exercised, or the function or duty performed, by the authority even though that thing has not been done, or is not done, by or in relation to the Legislative Assembly.

Division 2—Delegation of Commonwealth Minister’s role

10  Delegation by Commonwealth Minister

(1)  The Commonwealth Minister may, by signed writing, delegate to one or more of the following any or all of the powers, functions and duties the Commonwealth Minister has under one or more enactments because of subclause 5(1), or because of one or more amendments of an enactment made by the Norfolk Island Continued Laws Ordinance 2015:

(a)  the Administrator;

(b)  a councillor of the Norfolk Island Regional Council;

(c)  an employee of the Norfolk Island Regional Council;

(d)  a person who holds, or performs the duties of, an office under an enactment;

(e)  an employee of a body corporate established by or under an enactment;

(f)  an APS employee who holds or performs the duties of an Executive Level 2 position, or an equivalent or higher position, in the Department.

Subdelegation

(2)  If the Commonwealth Minister allows it in writing, a person to whom a power, function or duty has been delegated under subclause (1) may, by signed writing, further delegate the power, function or duty to a person described in paragraph (1)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f).

Transitional—conversion of delegations in force before the interim transition time

(3)  A delegation in force immediately before the interim transition time by a Minister or the Administrator of a power, function or duty under an enactment that continues in force after that time has effect as if it were a delegation made under subclause (1). This does not prevent the Commonwealth Minister from amending or revoking the delegation.

11  Directions to delegates

Compliance with Commonwealth Minister’s directions

(1)  A person to whom a power, function or duty has been delegated under clause 10 must comply with any written directions of the Commonwealth Minister under this clause.

(2)  The Commonwealth Minister may give a written direction of a general or specific nature as to the exercise of a power, or performance of a function or duty, that has been delegated under clause 10.

(3)  The Commonwealth Minister may, by written notice given to a person to whom a power, function or duty has been delegated under clause 10, direct that:

(a)  before the person exercises the power or performs the function or duty, the person must notify the Commonwealth Minister of the person’s intention to exercise the power or perform the function or duty; and

(b)  the person must do so at least the specified number of days before exercising the power or performing the function or duty.

12  Thing done under delegation taken to have been done by Commonwealth Minister

(1)  This clause applies if a power, function or duty of the Commonwealth Minister under an enactment has been delegated to a person under clause 10.

Note: Sections 34AA, 34AB and 34A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 of the Commonwealth, applying because of section 8A of this Act, contain other rules about delegations.

(2)  If under the enactment (as affected by subclause 5(1), if relevant) the exercise of the power or the performance of the function or duty depends on the Commonwealth Minister’s opinion, belief or state of mind, the person may exercise the power or perform the function or duty on the person’s opinion, belief or state of mind.

(3)  If the person exercises the power or performs the function or duty, the Commonwealth Minister is taken for the purposes of the enactment (as affected by subclause 5(1), if relevant) to have exercised the power or performed the function or duty.
