EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1992 No. 58
Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Justice and Consumer Affairs
Complaints (Australian Federal Police) Act 1981
Complaints (Australian Federal Police) Regulations (Amendment)
The purpose of the amendment is to repeal and remake regulation 9, which recent advice indicates was invalidly made.
Regulation 1 provides that the Complaints (Australian Federal Police) Regulations are amended.
Regulation 2 provides that the present regulation 9, which is understood to be invalid, is omitted and substitutes a new regulation 9 to the same effect, namely that the standard of proof required in proceedings before the Federal Police Disciplinary Tribunal (the Tribunal) is proof beyond reasonable doubt.
Regulation 3 applies the new regulation to all subsequent proceedings before tile Tribunal, including those which commenced, or concern a matter which arose, before the commencement of the new regulation.
