Australian Federal Police (Discipline) Regulations (Amendment)

The purpose of the proposed amendments is to correct drafting errors and to update certain definitions in the interpretation section.

The details of the amendments are as follows:

Regulation 1 provides that the Australian Federal Police (Discipline) Regulations ("the Discipline Regulations") are amended.

Regulation 2 amends subregulation 2(1) to omit the definition of "association" which is no longer used in the Discipline Regulations, and to update the definition of "commissioned officer" to reflect amendments to the Act.

Regulation 3 corrects a minor drafting error in subregulation 11(4) to ensure that the definition of "restricted premises" applies to subregulation (1A) as well as to subregulation (1).

Regulation 4 also corrects minor drafting errors in subregulation 18(1) to ensure that all the provisions of this subregulation apply to staff members as originally intended.
