2000 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 Preamble-- Parliament's reasons for enacting this Act are-- 1. The Commonwealth and the States have agreed to a cooperative scheme to apply the criminal law of the States extraterritorially in the areas adjacent to the coast of Australia. 2. Under the scheme, the criminal law of each State is to apply in the area adjacent to the State-- (a) for a distance of 12 nautical miles from the baseline for the State--by force of the law of the State; and (b) beyond 12 nautical miles up to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the baseline for the State or the outer limit of the continental shelf (whichever is the greater distance)--by force of the law of the Commonwealth. 3. Responsibility for administering criminal justice in the area covered by the scheme will be divided between the Commonwealth and the States under the scheme and an intergovernmental agreement. 4. The purpose of this Act is to give legal force to the scheme (so far as it depends on the legislative power of the State) and to provide for consequential vesting of judicial and other powers.

The scheme does not 18 therefore purport to extend the application of such a law to the adjacent 19 area. (b) give a legal effect to a provision of a substantive criminal law that 20 the provision does not have within the area of the State. 21 22 Example-- 23 If the effect of a provision of the substantive criminal law of a State is 24 limited under section 109 of the Constitution within the area of the State, 25 the effect is similarly limited in the outer adjacent area for the State even 26 though the provision applies in the outer adjacent area under the 27 legislative authority of the Commonwealth. of laws of criminal investigation, procedure and evidence 28 Application 3.(1) In this clause-- 29

 


 

12 Crimes at Sea SCHEDULE (continued) "act" includes an omission. 1 "area of administrative responsibility" for a particular State is-- 2 (a) the area of the State; and 3 (b) the inner adjacent area for the State; and 4 (c) other parts of the adjacent area in which the State has, under the 5 intergovernmental agreement, responsibility (which may be either 6 exclusive or concurrent) for administering criminal justice. 7 "authority" includes an agent or official. 8 "Commonwealth judicial proceeding" means-- 9 (a) a judicial proceeding related to a maritime offence-- 10 (i) initiated by an authority of the Commonwealth; or 11 (ii) for the conduct of which an authority of the Commonwealth 12 has assumed responsibility; or 13 (b) a judicial proceeding about an investigation, procedure or act by 14 an authority of the Commonwealth in relation to a maritime 15 offence. 16 "judicial proceeding" means-- 17 (a) a proceeding in a court (whether between parties or not) or a 18 proceeding incidental to or connected with a proceeding in a court; 19 or 20 (b) the laying of a charge; or 21 (c) the preliminary examination of a charge of an indictable offence 22 or a proceeding incidental to or connected with the preliminary 23 examination of a charge of an indictable offence. 24 "preliminary examination" of a charge of an indictable offence means a 25 proceeding to decide whether the defendant should be committed for 26 trial or, if the defendant pleads guilty to the charge, to commit the 27 defendant for sentence or trial. 28 "State judicial proceeding" means-- 29

 


 

13 Crimes at Sea SCHEDULE (continued) (a) a judicial proceeding related to a maritime offence-- 1 (i) initiated by an authority of a State; or 2 (ii) for the conduct of which an authority of a State has assumed 3 responsibility; or 4 (b) a judicial proceeding about an investigation, procedure or act by 5 an authority of a State in relation to a maritime offence. 6 (2) The laws of criminal investigation, procedure and evidence of the 7 Commonwealth and the States apply to maritime offences as follows-- 8 (a) the law of the Commonwealth applies to investigations, 9 procedures and acts (other than judicial proceedings) by 10 authorities of the Commonwealth; and 11 (b) the law of a State applies to investigations, procedures and acts 12 (other than judicial proceedings) by authorities of the State 13 operating within the area of administrative responsibility for the 14 relevant State; and 15 (c) in a Commonwealth judicial proceeding the law of the 16 Commonwealth applies and in a State judicial proceeding, the law 17 of the State in which the proceeding was commenced applies 18 (subject to the Constitution) irrespective of whether-- 19 (i) the maritime offence arises under the law of the State in 20 which the proceeding was commenced or another State; or 21 (ii) the substantive criminal law against which the offence was 22 committed applies in the relevant part of the adjacent area 23 under the law of the State in which the proceeding was 24 commenced, another State or the Commonwealth. 25 26 Example 1-- 27 Suppose that a person is charged by a State authority with a 28 maritime offence on the assumption that the offence was committed 29 in the inner adjacent area for the State but the court is satisfied in 30 the course of the proceedings that the acts alleged against the 31 defendant took place in the outer adjacent area for the State. In this 32 case, the court could continue with the proceedings under the 33 procedural laws of the State. However, the court could not (for

 


 

14 Crimes at Sea SCHEDULE (continued) 1 example) convict the defendant on the basis of a majority verdict of 2 a jury (because to do so would be contrary to the Commonwealth 3 Constitution--see Cheatle v. The Queen1). 4 Example 2-- 5 Suppose that a person is charged by a State authority in a South 6 Australian court with a maritime offence alleged to have been 7 committed in the adjacent area for Western Australia. For the 8 purposes of the proceedings, the offence would be classified as a 9 major indictable, minor indictable or summary offence according to 10 the South Australian rules and not by reference to its classification 11 under the law of Western Australia or the Commonwealth. (3) This clause operates to the exclusion of any Commonwealth or State 12 law that is inconsistent with it. 13 (4) A Commonwealth or State law enacted or made after the 14 commencement of this clause is to be construed as having effect subject to 15 this clause, unless the law expressly overrides this clause. 16 (5) The Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 17 (Commonwealth) does not apply to a decision taken under a State law that 18 applies to investigations, procedures and acts by authorities of the State 19 under paragraph (b) of subclause (2). 20 presumption about the locus of an offence 21 Evidentiary 4. If, in proceedings for a maritime offence, an alleged act, omission or 22 state of affairs, that is an element of the offence, is proved, an allegation in 23 the information or complaint that the act, omission or state of affairs 24 happened in the adjacent area, inner adjacent area, or outer adjacent area for a 25 particular State is taken to be proved in the absence of proof to the contrary. 26 1 (1993) 177 CLR 541
