EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO: 222
AUSTRALIAN BICENTENNIAL AUTHORITY REGULATIONS 1982
______________________
(Issued under the Authority of the Minister of State for Home Affairs and Environment)
These Regulations, made under section 26 of the Australian Bicentennial Authority Act 1980, afford protection to symbols and prescribed expressions of the Australian Bicentennial Authority and prevent commercial exploitation in opposition to the Authority.
The Act already prescribes the first and second symbols of the Authority but it was found that these were not suitable for commercial reproduction and new symbols three, four and five have been developed and are included in the Regulations.
The Chairman and the Board of Directors of the Authority requested the provision of these Regulations.
