Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (National Residue Survey - Deer) Regulations

Section 13 of the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for the purposes of carrying out or giving effect to the Act.

Section 30 of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 (the Collection Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for the purposes of carrying out or giving effect to the, Collection Act, in particular the making of provisions in relation to the payment of levy or amounts on account of levy and other amounts payable to the Commonwealth.

The Deer Farmer's Federation of Australia has sought the levy so that 2.5 cents per kilogram of slaughtered deer can be used to fund the full cost of a chemical residue monitoring program.

This rate of levy is effective from the date of gazettal, and is consistent with the wishes of the Deer Farmer's Federation of Australia, the recognised representative industry organisation, in accordance with its current commitment to the National Residue Survey.
