2001 A BILL FOR An Act to give effect to a cooperative scheme for dealing with crimes at sea, and for other purposes

 


 

4 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 Preamble-- 1 Parliament's reasons for enacting this Act are-- 2 1. The Commonwealth and the States have agreed to a cooperative 3 scheme to apply the criminal law of the States extraterritorially in the areas 4 adjacent to the coast of Australia. 5 2. Under the scheme, the criminal law of each State is to apply in the 6 area adjacent to the State-- 7 (a) for a distance of 12 nautical miles from the baseline for the 8 State--by force of the law of the State; and 9 (b) beyond 12 nautical miles up to a distance of 200 nautical miles 10 from the baseline for the State or the outer limit of the 11 continental shelf (whichever is the greater distance)--by force of 12 the law of the Commonwealth. 13 3. Responsibility for administering criminal justice in the area covered 14 by the scheme will be divided between the Commonwealth and the States 15 under the scheme and an intergovernmental agreement. 16 4. The purpose of this Act is to give legal force to the scheme (so far as it 17 depends on the legislative power of the State) and to provide for 18 consequential vesting of judicial and other powers. 19

 


 

s1 5 s5 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 The Parliament of Queensland enacts-- 1 1 Short title 2 This Act may be cited as the Crimes at Sea Act 2001. 3 2 Commencement 4 This Act commences on a day to be fixed by proclamation. 5 3 Definitions 6 In this Act-- 7 "cooperative scheme" means the legislative and administrative scheme 8 for applying and enforcing criminal law in the areas adjacent to the 9 coast of Australia set out in the schedule. 10 "intergovernmental agreement" means the agreement entered into under 11 clause 5 of the schedule. 12 4 Ratification of cooperative scheme 13 To the extent that it lies within the legislative competence of the State to 14 give the cooperative scheme the force of law, it has the force of law. 15 5 Classification of offences 16 Offences (other than offences arising under the law of the State) are 17 classified for the purposes of the cooperative scheme as follows-- 18 (a) if the maximum penalty for the offence is a fine or imprisonment 19 for not more than 2 years, the offence is classified as a summary 20 offence; 21 (b) if the maximum penalty for the offence is (or includes) 22 imprisonment for more than 2 years but not more than 5 years, 23 the offence is classified as a misdemeanour; 24

 


 

s6 6 s 10 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 (c) if the maximum penalty for the offence is (or includes) 1 imprisonment for more than 5 years or for an indeterminate term, 2 the offence is classified as a crime. 3 6 Publication of intergovernmental agreement 4 The Minister must have the intergovernmental agreement, and any 5 amendment to the intergovernmental agreement, published in the Gazette. 6 7 No effect on Crimes (Aviation) Act 1991 (Cwlth) 7 This Act and the cooperative scheme do not apply to an act or omission 8 to which the Crimes (Aviation) Act 1991 (Cwlth), section 15, applies. 9 8 Regulation-making power 10 (1) The Governor in Council may make regulations under this Act. 11 (2) However, this section does not authorise the making of regulations 12 for the purposes of the cooperative scheme. 13 9 Omission of the Criminal Code, section 14A (Offences committed 14 on the high seas) 15 (1) This section amends the Criminal Code. 16 (2) The Criminal Code, section 14A-- 17 omit. 18 10 Transitional provision 19 (1) Although section 9 omits the Criminal Code, section 14A, the 20 Criminal Code, section 14A continues to apply, in relation to acts and 21 omissions that took place before the commencement of section 9, as if the 22 Criminal Code, section 14A, had not been omitted. 23 (2) For the purposes of this section, if an act or omission is alleged to 24 have taken place between 2 dates, one before and one on or after the day 25 section 9 commences, the act or omission is alleged to have taken place 26 before the commencement of section 9. 27

 


 

7 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE 1 THE COOPERATIVE SCHEME 2 section 4 3 PART 1--PRELIMINARY 4 1 Definitions 5 (1) In this scheme-- 6 "adjacent area" for a State has the meaning given by clause 14 of this 7 schedule. 8 "Area A of the Zone of Cooperation" has the same meaning as in the 9 Petroleum (Timor Gap Zone of Co-operation) Act 1990 10 (Commonwealth). 11 "Australian ship" means-- 12 (a) a ship registered in Australia; or 13 (b) a ship that operates, or is controlled, from a base in Australia and 14 is not registered under the law of another country; or 15 (c) a ship that belongs to an arm of the Defence Force. 16 "baseline" for a State has the meaning given by clause 15 of this schedule. 17 "foreign ship" means a ship other than an Australian ship. 18 "indictable offence" means an offence for which a charge may be laid by 19 indictment or an equivalent process (whether that is the only, or an 20 optional, way to lay a charge of the offence). 21 "inner adjacent area" for a State means the parts of the adjacent area for 22 the State that are-- 23 (a) on the landward side of the baseline for the State; and 24 (b) on the seaward side, but within 12 nautical miles from, the 25 baseline for the State. 26 "intergovernmental agreement" means the agreement entered into under 27 clause 5 of this schedule. 28

9 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) (b) a hovercraft or other similar craft. 1 "State" includes the Northern Territory. 2 "substantive criminal law" means law (including unwritten law)-- 3 (a) creating offences or imposing criminal liability for offences; or 4 (b) dealing with capacity to incur criminal liability; or 5 (c) providing a defence or for reduction of the degree of criminal 6 liability; or 7 (d) providing for the confiscation of property used in, or derived 8 from, the commission of an offence; or 9 (e) providing for the payment of compensation for injury, loss or 10 damage resulting from the commission of an offence, or the 11 restitution of property obtained through the commission of an 12 offence; or 13 (f) dealing with other subjects declared by regulation to be within 14 the ambit of the substantive criminal law of a State; or 15 (g) providing for the interpretation of laws of the kinds mentioned 16 above. 17 "summary offence" means any offence other than an indictable offence. 18 (2) The law of criminal investigation, procedure and evidence of the 19 Commonwealth includes provisions of State law on the relevant subjects 20 applied under the Judiciary Act 1903 (Commonwealth). 21 PART 2--APPLICATION OF STATE CRIMINAL LAW 22 TO ADJACENT AREA 23 2 Application of State criminal law in adjacent area 24 (1) The substantive criminal law of a State, as in force from time to time, 25 applies, by force of the law of the State, throughout the inner adjacent area 26 for the State. 27

 


 

10 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) (2) The provisions of the substantive criminal law of a State, as in force 1 from time to time, apply, by force of the law of the Commonwealth, 2 throughout the outer adjacent area for the State. 3 (3) However, this clause does not-- 4 (a) apply to a substantive criminal law that is incapable of applying 5 in an adjacent area or is limited by its express terms to a place 6 within the area of a State; or 7 8 Example-- 9 A law making it an offence to drive a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding a 10 prescribed limit on a road could not apply in an adjacent area because of the 11 inherent localising elements of the offence. The scheme does not therefore 12 purport to extend the application of such a law to the adjacent area. (b) give a legal effect to a provision of a substantive criminal law that 13 the provision does not have within the area of the State. 14 15 Example-- 16 If the effect of a provision of the substantive criminal law of a State is limited 17 under section 109 of the Constitution within the area of the State, the effect is 18 similarly limited in the outer adjacent area for the State even though the 19 provision applies in the outer adjacent area under the legislative authority of 20 the Commonwealth. 3 Application of laws of criminal investigation, procedure and 21 evidence 22 (1) In this clause-- 23 "act" includes an omission. 24 "area of administrative responsibility" for a particular State is-- 25 (a) the area of the State; and 26 (b) the inner adjacent area for the State; and 27 (c) other parts of the adjacent area in which the State has, under the 28 intergovernmental agreement, responsibility (which may be 29 either exclusive or concurrent) for administering criminal justice. 30 "authority" includes an agent or official. 31 "Commonwealth judicial proceeding" means-- 32 (a) a judicial proceeding related to a maritime offence-- 33

 


 

11 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) (i) initiated by an authority of the Commonwealth; or 1 (ii) for the conduct of which an authority of the Commonwealth 2 has assumed responsibility; or 3 (b) a judicial proceeding about an investigation, procedure or act by 4 an authority of the Commonwealth in relation to a maritime 5 offence. 6 "judicial proceeding" means-- 7 (a) a proceeding in a court (whether between parties or not) or a 8 proceeding incidental to or connected with a proceeding in a 9 court; or 10 (b) the laying of a charge; or 11 (c) the preliminary examination of a charge of an indictable offence 12 or a proceeding incidental to or connected with the preliminary 13 examination of a charge of an indictable offence. 14 "preliminary examination" of a charge of an indictable offence means a 15 proceeding to decide whether the defendant should be committed for 16 trial or, if the defendant pleads guilty to the charge, to commit the 17 defendant for sentence or trial. 18 "State judicial proceeding" means-- 19 (a) a judicial proceeding related to a maritime offence-- 20 (i) initiated by an authority of a State; or 21 (ii) for the conduct of which an authority of a State has assumed 22 responsibility; or 23 (b) a judicial proceeding about an investigation, procedure or act by 24 an authority of a State in relation to a maritime offence. 25 (2) The laws of criminal investigation, procedure and evidence of the 26 Commonwealth and the States apply to maritime offences as follows-- 27 (a) the law of the Commonwealth applies to investigations, 28 procedures and acts (other than judicial proceedings) by 29 authorities of the Commonwealth; and 30 (b) the law of a State applies to investigations, procedures and acts 31 (other than judicial proceedings) by authorities of the State 32

 


 

12 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) operating within the area of administrative responsibility for the 1 relevant State; and 2 (c) in a Commonwealth judicial proceeding the law of the 3 Commonwealth applies and in a State judicial proceeding, the 4 law of the State in which the proceeding was commenced applies 5 (subject to the Constitution) irrespective of whether-- 6 (i) the maritime offence arises under the law of the State in 7 which the proceeding was commenced or another State; or 8 (ii) the substantive criminal law against which the offence was 9 committed applies in the relevant part of the adjacent area 10 under the law of the State in which the proceeding was 11 commenced, another State or the Commonwealth. 12 13 Example 1-- 14 Suppose that a person is charged by a State authority with a maritime 15 offence on the assumption that the offence was committed in the inner 16 adjacent area for the State but the court is satisfied in the course of the 17 proceedings that the acts alleged against the defendant took place in the 18 outer adjacent area for the State. In this case, the court could continue 19 with the proceedings under the procedural laws of the State. However, 20 the court could not (for example) convict the defendant on the basis of a 21 majority verdict of a jury (because to do so would be contrary to the Commonwealth Constitution--see Cheatle v. The Queen1). 22 23 Example 2-- 24 Suppose that a person is charged by a State authority in a South 25 Australian court with a maritime offence alleged to have been 26 committed in the adjacent area for Western Australia. For the purposes 27 of the proceedings, the offence would be classified as a major indictable, 28 minor indictable or summary offence according to the South Australian 29 rules and not by reference to its classification under the law of Western 30 Australia or the Commonwealth. (3) This clause operates to the exclusion of any Commonwealth or State 31 law that is inconsistent with it. 32 (4) A Commonwealth or State law enacted or made after the 33 commencement of this clause is to be construed as having effect subject to 34 this clause, unless the law expressly overrides this clause. 35 1 (1993) 177 CLR 541

 


 

13 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) (5) The Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 1 (Commonwealth) does not apply to a decision taken under a State law that 2 applies to investigations, procedures and acts by authorities of the State 3 under paragraph (b) of subclause (2). 4 4 Evidentiary presumption about the locus of an offence 5 If, in proceedings for a maritime offence, an alleged act, omission or 6 state of affairs, that is an element of the offence, is proved, an allegation in 7 the information or complaint that the act, omission or state of affairs 8 happened in the adjacent area, inner adjacent area, or outer adjacent area 9 for a particular State is taken to be proved in the absence of proof to the 10 contrary. 11 PART 3--THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT 12 5 Intergovernmental agreement 13 (1) The Commonwealth Attorney-General, on behalf of the 14 Commonwealth, and the participating State Ministers may enter into an 15 agreement providing for the division of responsibility for administering 16 and enforcing the law relating to maritime offences. 17 (2) The intergovernmental agreement may provide for concurrent 18 responsibility in specified parts of the adjacent area. 19 6 Effect of the agreement 20 (1) A charge of a maritime offence must not be brought in a court 21 contrary to the intergovernmental agreement. 22 (2) If a charge of a maritime offence is brought in a court in 23 contravention of subclause (1), the court must, on application by the 24 Commonwealth Attorney-General, or a participating State Minister, 25 permanently stay the proceedings in that court. 26

 


 

14 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) (3) However-- 1 (a) a contravention of subclause (1) does not affect a court's 2 jurisdiction; and 3 (b) if a charge of a maritime offence is brought in a court, the court 4 will not (except on an application under subclause (2)) be 5 concerned to enquire into whether the intergovernmental 6 agreement has been complied with. 7 PART 4--LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS 8 7 Commonwealth Attorney-General's consent required for certain 9 prosecutions 10 (1) The Commonwealth Attorney-General's written consent is required 11 before a charge of a maritime offence can proceed to hearing or 12 determination or, if the offence is an indictable offence, to a preliminary 13 examination in committal proceedings, if-- 14 (a) the offence is alleged to have been committed on or from a 15 foreign ship; and 16 (b) the ship is registered under the law of a country other than 17 Australia; and 18 (c) the country of registration has, under international law, 19 jurisdiction over the alleged offence. 20 (2) Before granting such a consent, the Commonwealth 21 Attorney-General must take into account any views expressed by the 22 government of the country of registration. 23 (3) Even though the Commonwealth Attorney-General has not granted 24 such a consent, the absence of consent is not to prevent or delay-- 25 (a) the arrest of the suspected offender or proceedings related to 26 arrest (such as proceedings for the issue and execution of a 27 warrant); or 28 (b) the laying of a charge against the suspected offender; or 29

 


 

15 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) (c) proceedings for the extradition to Australia of the suspected 1 offender; or 2 (d) proceedings for remanding the suspected offender in custody or 3 on bail. 4 (4) If the Commonwealth Attorney-General declines to grant consent, 5 the court in which the suspected offender has been charged with the 6 offence must permanently stay the proceedings. 7 (5) In any proceedings, an apparently genuine document purporting to 8 be a copy of a written consent granted by the Commonwealth 9 Attorney-General in accordance with this clause will be accepted, in the 10 absence of proof to the contrary, as proof of such consent. 11 8 Non-exclusion of consistent extraterritorial legislative schemes 12 This scheme does not exclude the extraterritorial operation of State law 13 to the extent that the State law is capable of operating extraterritorially 14 consistently with the scheme. 15 9 Exclusion of certain laws from ambit of this scheme 16 This scheme does not apply to State and Commonwealth laws excluded 17 by regulation from the ambit of the scheme. 18 10 Non-application of scheme to Area A of the Zone of Cooperation 19 This scheme does not apply to Area A of the Zone of Cooperation. 20 PART 5--MISCELLANEOUS 21 11 Interpretation 22 The Acts Interpretation Act 1901 (Commonwealth) applies to this 23 scheme in the same way as to a Commonwealth Act. 24

 


 

16 Crimes at Sea Bill 2001 SCHEDULE (continued) 12 Regulations 1 (1) The Governor-General may make regulations prescribing matters-- 2 (a) required or permitted by this scheme to be prescribed; or 3 (b) necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or 4 giving effect to this scheme. 5 (2) However, a regulation affecting the operation of this scheme in 6 relation to the inner adjacent area for a State may only be made with the 7 agreement of the participating State Minister for the relevant State. 8 PART 6--ADJACENT AREAS 9 13 Definitions 10 In this part-- 11 "baseline of Australia's territorial sea" means the baseline from which 12 the breadth of the territorial sea is to be measured under section 7 of 13 the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 (Commonwealth). 14 "continental shelf" has the same meaning as in the Seas and Submerged 15 Lands Act 1973 (Commonwealth). 16 "territorial sea" has the same meaning as in the Seas and Submerged 17 Lands Act 1973 (Commonwealth). 18 14 Adjacent areas 19 (1) The "adjacent area" for New South Wales, Victoria, South 20 Australia or Tasmania is so much of the area described in schedule 2 to the 21 Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967 (Commonwealth) in relation to 22 that State as is within the outer limits of the continental shelf and includes 23 the space above and below that area. 24 (2) The "adjacent area" for Queensland is-- 25 (a) so much of the area described in schedule 2 to the Petroleum 26 (Submerged Lands) Act 1967 (Commonwealth) in relation to 27
