Overview

The Broom Millet Assistance Regulations 1925, made under the Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925, were enacted to provide financial assistance to growers of Broom Millet in the Commonwealth of Australia. The Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925 aimed to stabilise the agricultural sector by guaranteeing prices for certain crops, thus encouraging production and export. The Broom Millet Assistance Regulations specifically target assistance for Broom Millet produced in 1924 and sold before April 1, 1926. This legislation was enacted by the Governor-General in Council, signifying the Federal Executive's commitment to supporting agricultural producers during a period of economic uncertainty. The primary objective is to ensure that growers receive financial support to maintain their livelihoods and contribute to the nation's export economy.

Scope and Application

The Broom Millet Assistance Regulations, made under the Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925, provide a framework for offering assistance to individuals or entities involved in the production and sale of Broom Millet within the Commonwealth of Australia for the financial year 1924. These regulations specifically apply to those who have produced Broom Millet in 1924 and sold it by 1st April 1926. The legislation requires claimants to submit detailed claims, including information on the quantity produced and sold, the price per ton, and the total amount received or to be received. These claims must be rendered in a specific form and submitted to the Secretary, Department of Markets and Migration. Additionally, claimants are mandated to maintain accurate books of account that detail all transactions related to Broom Millet for the specified period. These records must be accessible for inspection and audit by authorised personnel from the Department of Markets and Migration. The regulations are binding across the Commonwealth of Australia, ensuring a uniform approach to assistance claims.

Key Provisions

The Broom Millet Assistance Regulations (No. 178 of 1925) establish the framework for the provision of assistance under the Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925 for Broom Millet produced in the Commonwealth during 1924 and sold before April 1, 1926. These Regulations, detailed in sections 1 to 4, define the scope of assistance, the process for submitting claims, and the record-keeping requirements for those claiming assistance. Section 1 provides the short title for these regulations, while Section 2 defines key terms such as “Assistance” and “Minister.” Section 3 specifies that claims for assistance must follow a prescribed form and be submitted in duplicate to the Secretary of the Department of Markets and Migration in Melbourne. Section 4 mandates that claimants maintain detailed records of their Broom Millet production and sales, including quantity, price, and the parties involved in sales, and that these records are subject to inspection by authorised persons. Under these Regulations, claimants are required to adhere to specific obligations to be eligible for assistance. Section 3 stipulates that claims must be submitted on a form that includes personal and farm details, the quantity of Broom Millet produced and sold, and the prices paid. Section 4 mandates that claimants maintain detailed and separate records of their Broom Millet production and sales, which must be accessible for inspection by authorised officials. This includes maintaining records of the quantity of Broom Millet produced and sold, the price per ton, and the total amount received for the Broom Millet sold, among other particulars as required by the Minister. These record-keeping requirements are crucial for verifying the accuracy of claims and ensuring compliance with the Act. Failure to comply with the requirements set forth in these Regulations may result in civil or criminal consequences. While the specific penalties for non-compliance are not detailed within the text of the Regulations themselves, breaches of statutory requirements under the Export Guarantee Act 1924-1925 or other related legislation could potentially result in penalties, fines, or legal action. These could include civil penalties for misrepresentation or fraudulent claims, as well as criminal penalties for more serious breaches involving intentional deception or fraud. The exact nature and severity of penalties would depend on the specific circumstances of the breach and applicable laws.
