Training Ship Tingira Regulations (Repeal)

Overview

The Statutory Rules 1927, No. 111, titled "Regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1918," were enacted to establish new regulations under the existing framework of the Naval Defence Act, aiming to streamline and modernise the governance of naval training activities. This legislative instrument was made by the Governor-General in Council, acting on the advice of the Federal Executive Council, to ensure the effective administration and oversight of naval defence activities. The primary objective of these regulations was to repeal the outdated Training Ship "Tingira" Regulations, Statutory Rules 1919, No. 18, while preserving any rights or obligations that had already been established under the previous regulations. This legislative action aimed to address the gap in naval training governance and to ensure that the naval defence system remained current and efficient.

Scope and Application

The Regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1918 pertain specifically to the repeal of the Training Ship “Tingira” Regulations, Statutory Rules 1919, No. 18, as amended up to the date of these regulations. This legislative instrument applies to any matters previously governed by the Training Ship “Tingira” Regulations, ensuring that any lawful actions, rights, privileges, obligations, or liabilities accrued under those regulations remain unaffected. The repeal effectively removes the previous regulatory framework from operation, while preserving the legal consequences of actions taken or rights obtained under the repealed regulations. The regulations are of Commonwealth reach, as they are made under the authority of the Naval Defence Act 1910-1918, and they do not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds in this context. While the primary text of these regulations focuses on the repeal, it is possible that further application and interpretation may be extended through subordinate instruments, though this specific text does not elaborate on such provisions.

Key Provisions

The main operative sections of these regulations pertain to the repeal of the existing Training Ship "Tingira" Regulations, which were previously established under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1918. Specifically, the Training Ship Tingira Regulations, Statutory Rules 1919, No. 18, along with all subsequent amendments, are hereby repealed (section 1). This repeal is effective immediately, although it does not affect any actions taken or rights, privileges, obligations, or liabilities that were already established under the repealed regulations (section 1). Under these regulations, the primary obligation imposed on relevant parties and entities is the cessation of adherence to the repealed Training Ship "Tingira" Regulations. This means that any activities, operations, or obligations that were previously governed by these regulations must now align with any new or existing regulations that replace them. For instance, personnel involved in the operation or management of the Training Ship "Tingira" must ensure that they are compliant with any new directives or laws that have been put in place to govern similar activities. In terms of potential breaches and the associated penalties, the regulations themselves do not explicitly outline specific offences or penalties for non-compliance with the repealed regulations. However, it is reasonable to infer that any continued adherence to the repealed regulations post-repeal could be considered a breach of the new regulatory framework. Such breaches might lead to legal consequences under the new regulations, which could include fines, administrative sanctions, or other penalties as specified by the new governing regulations. The exact nature and severity of these penalties would depend on the specific provisions of the new regulations that have replaced the repealed ones. In conclusion, these regulations effectively repeal the Training Ship "Tingira" Regulations, requiring relevant parties to cease reliance on the repealed rules. While the regulations do not detail specific penalties for non-compliance, any actions taken in contravention of the new regulatory framework could result in various legal consequences, as outlined in the new governing regulations.
