EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1998 No. 158
Issued by Authority of the Minister for Primary Industries and Energy
Wheat Industry Fund Levy Act 1989
Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991
Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Wheat) Regulations (Amendment)
Section 9 of the Wheat Industry Fund Levy Act 1989 and Section 30 of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 provide that the Governor-General may make regulations not inconsistent with these Acts, prescribing matters required or permitted to be prescribed; or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to these Acts.
These regulations correct a drafting error in the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 which had the effect of including seed wheat for sowing with pool return wheat when these should have been alternatives for the purposes of determining the value of wheat.
These regulations are effective from 3 July 1998, the date of proclamation of Schedule 2 of the National Residue Survey Administration Amendment Act 1998.
