Overview

Statutory Rules 1935 No. 126, made under the Census and Statistics Act 1905–1930, was enacted by the Governor-General in Council to address the need for updated statistical data, particularly in relation to air travel. This legislative instrument aimed to enhance the collection of interstate migration statistics via civil aircraft by amending the existing Statistics Regulations. The policy objective was to ensure that the Commonwealth could accurately monitor and respond to changes in population movements, thereby supporting better-informed policy and planning decisions. The regulations introduced new forms (XLIIa, XLIIb, and XLIIc) to capture detailed information on interstate passenger movements, ensuring that the data collected was both comprehensive and reflective of the evolving transportation landscape.

Scope and Application

The Regulations under the Census and Statistics Act 1905–1930, specifically Statutory Rules 1935, No. 126, focus on the collection of statistical data concerning interstate migration via civil aircraft. These regulations apply to entities and individuals operating civil aircraft within the Commonwealth of Australia, requiring them to submit detailed information about passengers who travel between states and territories. The geographic scope of these regulations is national, as they pertain to all states, territories, and the Commonwealth as a whole. The regulations mandate the submission of forms detailing the number of passengers, broken down by gender and destination, for both arrivals and departures. These forms include Forms XLIIa, XLIIb, and XLIIc, each capturing different aspects of interstate migration by air. The data collected under these regulations is treated as confidential, with only totals being published to ensure privacy. The amendments to the existing regulations extend the scope to include more comprehensive reporting through the new forms, while maintaining the confidentiality of individual data.

Key Provisions

The Regulations under the Census and Statistics Act 1905–1930 amend the Statistics Regulations to include new forms for the collection of statistics on interstate migration by air (Regulation 1). This regulation mandates the use of forms XLII to XLIIc for gathering data on interstate passenger movements via civil aircraft (Reg. 1(1)(a)). The amendment also stipulates that these forms must be signed and submitted by the person responsible (Reg. 1(2)(a)). Entities governed by these Regulations, particularly those involved in operating civil aircraft for interstate passenger transport, are required to complete and submit the new forms accurately and on time (Reg. 1). The forms mandate the provision of detailed information on the number of passengers arriving in or departing from various states and territories, broken down by gender and specific months within the quarter (Schedule). These entities must also ensure that the information provided is to the best of their knowledge and belief, and that it is certified by a responsible individual (Schedule). Failure to comply with these Regulations may result in legal consequences. Although the specific penalties are not detailed in the provided excerpt, breaches of regulations under the Census and Statistics Act 1905–1930 typically involve penalties such as fines. The severity of these penalties can vary, but they are intended to enforce compliance with the legislative requirements for accurate and timely statistical reporting.
