Interpretation
3. Section 4 of the Principal Act is amended-
(a) by omitting "international nautical miles" from paragraphs (a) and (b)
of the definition of "Australian fishing zone" and substituting "nautical
miles";
(b) by omitting the definition of "Australian waters";
(c) by omitting the definition of "proclaimed waters" and substituting the
following definition:
"'proclaimed waters' means waters declared by a Proclama- tion in force under
section 7 to be proclaimed waters, and includes, for the purposes referred to
in section 12K, waters deemed by that section to be proclaimed waters;"; and
(d) by adding at the end thereof the following sub-sections:
"(2) Where a boat has been lawfully imported into Australia for a limited
period and the Minister is satisfied that the extent of participation by
citizens or residents of Australia, either directly or through the holding of
shares in a company or otherwise indirectly, in the control of the operations
of the boat in proclaimed waters during that period, and the nature of those
operations, will be such as to justify him in so doing, he may, in his
discretion, by instrument published in the Gazette, declare that, during that
period, the boat is to be deemed to be an Australian boat for the purposes of
this Act and, while such an instrument is in force in respect of a boat, the
boat shall be deemed to be an Australian boat for the purposes of this Act.
"(3) The Minister may-
(a) by reason of a change in circumstances, by instrument published in the
Gazette, at any time revoke an instrument under sub-section (2); or
(b) by instrument published in the Gazette, extend the period for which an
instrument under sub-section (2) is to remain in force.".
