Overview

The Meat Export Control (Fees, Salaries and Expenses) Regulations, made under the Meat Export Control Act 1935–1946, were enacted to address the financial remuneration and expenses of the Board members, the Chairman, and the employee representative involved in the oversight of meat exports. The regulations were issued by the Governor-General in accordance with the advice of the Federal Executive Council. These regulations specify the salaries and allowances for various positions, including the Chairman, an employee representative, and other Board members, as well as detailing the reimbursement of travel expenses. This legislative instrument ensures that the individuals responsible for regulating meat exports are fairly compensated for their time and expenses incurred in the execution of their duties.

Scope and Application

The Meat Export Control (Fees, Salaries and Expenses) Regulations 1947, made under the Meat Export Control Act 1935–1946, pertain to the remuneration and expenses of the Chairman of the Board, members of the Board and any Committees of the Board, as well as employees' representatives involved in the slaughter and preparation of meat and meat products for export. These Regulations apply to the Commonwealth of Australia and set forth the financial entitlements for individuals engaged in the oversight and administration of meat exports, excluding the Chairman of the Board, any Board or Committee members, or their deputies if they are members of Parliament. The Regulations specify annual salaries, daily fees for attendance at Board meetings or for conducting Board business, and allowances and reimbursements for travel expenses incurred in the course of their duties. These provisions extend to deputies of Board members, with specific exclusions for the Chairman and the employees' representative.

Key Provisions

The Meat Export Control (Fees, Salaries and Expenses) Regulations (1947) set out specific provisions regarding the remuneration and expenses of individuals associated with the Board established under the Meat Export Control Act 1935–1946. These regulations detail the salary and expenses of the Chairman of the Board (section 5, 6), the member appointed to represent employees (section 7, 8), and other members and their deputies (section 9, 10). The regulations provide a clear framework for the financial entitlements of these officials, ensuring that they are compensated appropriately for their roles and responsibilities. The Act imposes several obligations on the parties and entities it governs. It mandates that the Chairman of the Board and the employees’ representative receive specific salaries (section 5, 7). It also requires that these officials, as well as other members and their deputies, be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred while travelling on Board business (section 6, 8, 10). Furthermore, members of the Board and their deputies are entitled to a daily fee for attending meetings or conducting Board business (section 9). These obligations ensure that the Board can operate effectively and that its members are fairly compensated for their time and efforts. The regulations do not explicitly outline any offences, penalties, or consequences for breach within their scope. However, the Act under which these regulations are made, the Meat Export Control Act 1935–1946, may include provisions that address non-compliance. Typically, breaches of statutory regulations can lead to civil or criminal penalties, depending on the nature and severity of the breach. The specific penalties would be detailed in the primary Act and could include fines or other sanctions. It is essential for those governed by these regulations to adhere to the outlined provisions to avoid potential repercussions.
