Overview

Statutory Rules 1909, No. 103, Regulations under the Bounties Act 1907, were enacted to establish and update the procedures and forms required for the claiming of bounties on natural products, manufactured goods, and preserved fish. This legislative instrument was made by the Governor-General in Council under the authority granted by the Federal Parliament. The Bounties Act 1907 itself was introduced to provide financial incentives for the production and export of certain goods, thereby encouraging economic growth and supporting industries critical to the nation's export economy. These Regulations serve to detail the specific administrative procedures for bounty claims, ensuring that the process is clear, verifiable, and consistent with the objectives of the Bounties Act.

Scope and Application

The Regulations under the Bounties Act 1907, as set forth in Statutory Rules 1909, No. 103, apply to individuals and entities claiming bounties for the export of specific natural and manufactured products, as well as preserved fish. These regulations govern the procedures and formalities required for making a valid claim for a bounty, which include the submission of detailed particulars and declarations, certification by an Officer of Customs, and an officer’s certificate attesting to the correctness of the claim. The regulations are applicable across the Commonwealth of Australia, indicating a national reach. The specified products include white-grown crops, fruits dried or candied, combed wool or tops, and preserved fish. Notably, the regulations require that these products be grown or produced by white labour only, as defined by the Bounties Act 1907, and that the wages paid are at least at the standard rate for the district. The regulations also specify the forms and declarations to be filled and signed by the claimants, including the necessary certifications and the manner in which the bounty payment can be directed. The provisions of these regulations can be extended or further detailed through subordinate instruments, as permitted under the overarching Bounties Act 1907.

Key Provisions

The Regulations under the Bounties Act 1907 outline the process for claiming a bounty on various natural products and manufactured goods. Specifically, section 20 details the process for claiming a bounty on white-grown natural products, such as certain agricultural or pastoral produce, while section 21 outlines the process for claiming a bounty on manufactured goods like dried fruits, candied fruits, combed wool, or tops. Section 22 provides the process for claiming a bounty on preserved fish. These sections require the claimant to fill out a claim form, which must be certified by an Officer of Customs and a Certifying Officer to verify the accuracy of the details provided. Furthermore, the claimant must declare that the goods were produced using white labour only and that no other bounty claims have been made for the same goods. The Bounties Act 1907, as supplemented by these regulations, imposes several obligations on the claimants. Primarily, the claimant must ensure that the details provided in the claim form are accurate and truthful. The claimant must also ensure that the goods were produced using white labour only and that the wages paid to employees were at least the standard rate for similar work in the district. Additionally, the claimant must ensure that no other bounty claims have been made for the same goods. The claimant must provide evidence of these facts by signing a declaration before an Officer of Customs or a Justice of the Peace. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Bounties Act 1907 and these regulations can result in legal consequences. While the specific penalties are not detailed in the text, it is reasonable to infer that any fraudulent claims or misrepresentations could lead to civil or criminal penalties. Such penalties could include fines, imprisonment, or the forfeiture of the bounty claimed. The precise nature and severity of these penalties would be determined by the relevant courts and would depend on the specific circumstances of the breach.
