Drafting

The committee notes that the instrument is identifed as made under the  Australian Passports (Application Fees) Act 2005 . However, neither the instrument nor the ES appear to identify the specific provision of that Act that is relied on to make the instrument.

The committee's usual expectation is that an instrument or its ES identify the provision of the enabling legislation which authorises the making of the instrument, in the interests of promoting clarity and intelligibility of the instrument to anticipated users.

The committee requests the advice of the minister in relation to this matter.
