ISSUE:
The committee notes that the instrument has commenced before its authorising provision (section 69(1B) of the Banking Act 1959), which will commence on 1 July 2013. The commencement of instruments in this way is provided for by section 4 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 (AIA). However, in light of the potential for the unclaimed moneys scheme to impact on personal property [the committee sought further information from the Treasurer].
MINISTER'S RESPONSE:
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer responded, advising that the commencement of the regulation did not rely on section 4 of the AIA. Rather, the regulation, which was made for the purposes of subsection 69(1B) of the Banking Act 1959, had been inserted into the Banking Act by item 4 of Schedule 1 of the Treasury Legislation Amendment (Unclaimed Money and Other Measures) Act 2012 (the TLA Act). The regulation was in fact given effect by a transitional provision under item 8 of Schedule 1 of the TLA Act, which commenced on 5 December 2012.
COMMITTEE RESPONSE:
The committee thanks the parliamentary secretary for his advice and has concluded its interest in the matter.
