Overview
The Statutory Rules 1930 No. 119, enacted under the Dairy Produce Export Charges Act 1924-1929, were introduced to address the need for updating the export charge rates for dairy products. This legislation was made by the person administering the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council. The regulations were designed to come into effect from 1st October 1930, effectively amending the previous Dairy Produce Export Charges Regulations to adjust the charge rates for butter and cheese. This legislative instrument aimed to ensure that the export charges were appropriately aligned with the changing economic conditions and the need to regulate the export of dairy products effectively.
Scope and Application
The Dairy Produce Export Charges Regulations 1930, made under the Dairy Produce Export Charges Act 1924-1929, specify the rates for export charges on dairy products such as butter and cheese for the period of twelve months from 1 October 1930. These Regulations apply to any person or entity involved in the export of dairy products from Australia, encompassing the entire dairy industry. The geographic reach of these Regulations is nationwide, applying across all states and territories within the Commonwealth of Australia. This statutory instrument directly amends the previously existing Dairy Produce Export Charges Regulations, effectively repealing the previous rates and establishing new rates for the specified period. The Regulations extend their application through subordinate instruments by setting out the exact rates and charges applicable to specific dairy products, which can be further refined or altered by subsequent amendments to the Regulations.
Key Provisions
The primary operative sections of the Dairy Produce Export Charges Regulations (1930) amend the previous legislation (Statutory Rules 1925, No. 92) to introduce new rates for export charges on dairy products, effective from 1 October 1930. Regulation 3 specifically replaces the previous charge rates, setting a charge of one-thirtieth of a penny for each pound of butter exported, and one-sixtieth of a penny for each pound of cheese exported for the twelve-month period commencing 1 October 1930 (Regulation 3(a) and (b)). This regulation directly impacts how much charge is levied on dairy exporters for the specified period.
Entities and parties governed by these regulations, particularly those involved in the export of butter and cheese, are required to adhere to the new charge rates as stipulated. These entities must ensure that they are correctly calculating and paying the export charges in accordance with the rates outlined in Regulation 3. This includes maintaining accurate records and declarations regarding the amount of dairy produce exported and the corresponding charges.
Failure to comply with the new charge rates as specified in these regulations can result in legal consequences. While the legislation does not explicitly state the penalties for non-compliance, it is reasonable to infer that breaches could lead to fines or other legal actions under the Dairy Produce Export Charges Act 1924-1929. The severity of the penalties would depend on the specific nature and extent of the non-compliance, but could potentially include financial penalties or other enforcement measures to ensure compliance with the export charge requirements.
