insert

"Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission "means the Australian Crime Commission established by the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002

Note     The Australian Crime Commission Act 2002

(Cwlth), s 7 (1A) provides that the Australian Crime Commission may also be known by a name specified in the regulations. The Australian Crime Commission Regulations 2002

(Cwlth), s 3A specifies the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission for that Act

, s 7 (1A).

Explanatory note

This amendment and the omission of the definition of CrimTrac by another amendment are consequential on changes made to the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002

(Cwlth) (the ACC Act) by the Australian Crime Commission Amendment (National Policing Information Charges) Act 2016

(Cwlth) (the amending Act) to merge the CrimTrac agency with the Australian Crime Commission (the ACC). The ACC is established under the ACC Act

, section 7. The amending Act inserted new section 7 (1A), which provides that the ACC may also be known by a name specified in the regulations. The Australian Crime Commission Regulations 2002

(Cwlth), section 3A specified the Australia Criminal Intelligence Commission for the ACC Act

, section 7 (1A).

[2.3]     Dictionary, part 1, definition of CrimTrac

omit

Explanatory note

This amendment omits a definition that is no longer needed as a consequence of the merger of CrimTrac with the Australian Crime Commission (see explanatory note for amendment 2.2 for additional information).

[2.4]     Dictionary, part 1, definition of Lake Ginninderra

omit

Explanatory note

This amendment omits a redundant definition. The definition of Lake Ginninderra refers to the term as defined in the Lakes Act 1976

. However, the definition and related amendments were omitted from that Act by the Planning, Building and Environment Legislation Amendment Act 2013 (No 2)

. This enabled Lake Ginninderra to be declared as a lake by notifiable instrument under the Lakes Act 1976

, section 5, consistent with the practice of declaring an area as a lake in the Territory, instead of describing its location using geographical bearings.
