Queensland Consolidated Acts

CIVIL AVIATION (CARRIERS' LIABILITY) ACT 1964 - SECT 6A

6A Administration of the applied provisions as Commonwealth laws

(1) It is Parliament’s intention that the applied provisions should be administered and enforced as if they were provisions applying as laws of the Commonwealth instead of being provisions applying as laws of the State.

(2) To that end—

(a) Commonwealth authorities have the same powers to enforce the applied provisions as they have to enforce the Commonwealth Act and the Commonwealth Regulations; and

(b) the laws of the Commonwealth apply to offences against the applied provisions as if they were offences against the Commonwealth Act or the Commonwealth Regulations; and

(c) the laws of the State do not apply to offences against the applied provisions.

(3) Despite subsection (2) (b) and (c) , the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 , section 181A applies to offences against the applied provisions.

(4) In applying the applied provisions under this Act, any function or power conferred on a Commonwealth authority under those provisions may be exercised or performed (in respect of carriage to which this Act applies and matters connected with that carriage) by that Commonwealth authority.
