Overview

The Bounties Act 1907 was enacted to provide financial incentives for the production and export of certain natural and manufactured goods in Australia. The Act sought to address the problem of ensuring the economic viability and competitiveness of Australian industries in the global market by providing financial support for these sectors. The legislation was introduced by the Federal Parliament with the policy objective of stimulating the production and export of eligible goods, thereby supporting economic growth and development. The Statutory Rules of 1909, No. 49, provide Provisional Regulations under the Bounties Act 1907, facilitating the immediate implementation of these incentives to address the identified gap in supporting Australian industries.

Scope and Application

The Provisional Regulations under the Bounties Act 1907 apply to individuals or entities seeking a bounty for the export of natural products, manufactured goods, and preserved fish. These entities must comply with the specified forms and declarations to claim their bounty. The regulations pertain to the Commonwealth of Australia and cover products such as white-grown crops, dried fruits (except currants and raisins), candied fruits, combed wool or tops, and preserved fish, provided they are produced using white labour and exported from Australia. Notably, the bounty is only payable if the goods are actually exported and not re-landed within Australia. The regulations also include provisions for certifying officers and customs officers to verify the accuracy of the claims, as well as processes for the payment of bounties. The regulations may be further extended or modified through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

The Statutory Rules 1909, No. 49, establish Provisional Regulations under the Bounties Act 1907, which come into immediate operation. These regulations replace previous rules and govern the process for claiming bounties on natural products, manufactured goods, and preserved fish. The forms and procedures for making these claims are detailed in Regulations 20 to 28, which outline the necessary information and certifications required for each type of bounty claim. To claim a bounty, claimants must provide detailed information about the product, including the type and amount, the location and date of production or delivery, and the market value upon which the bounty is claimed. For natural products, the claim must specify the grower's details and the location of the plantation, along with a declaration that the product was grown using white labour only and that no other claim for the same product has been made. Similarly, claims for manufactured goods and preserved fish must include specific details about the production process and the wages paid to workers, ensuring compliance with the labour standards set by the Bounties Act 1907. Failure to comply with the requirements set out in these regulations can result in penalties. While the specific penalties are not detailed in the text provided, breaches of the Bounties Act 1907 or related regulations could lead to civil or criminal consequences. Typically, such breaches might result in fines or other sanctions, depending on the severity of the non-compliance and any applicable laws. It is essential for claimants to ensure that their claims are accurate and complete to avoid any potential penalties.
