             (1)  The object of this section is to help ensure that the Agvet Code of the participating Territories can operate, in appropriate circumstances, as if that Code, together with the Agvet Code of each State, constituted a single national Agvet Code applying throughout Australia.

             (2)  Subject to this section, a reference in an instrument to the Agvet Codes, or to the Agvet Regulations, is taken, for the purposes of the laws of the Commonwealth and of the laws of the participating Territories:

                     (a)  to be a reference to the Agvet Code, or to the Agvet Regulations, as the case may be, of the participating Territories; and

                     (b)  to include a separate reference to the Agvet Code, or to the Agvet Regulations, as the case may be, of each State.

             (3)  Subsection (2) has effect except so far as the contrary intention appears in the instrument or the context of the reference otherwise requires.

Part 4—Application of Agvet Codes to the Crown

  

13  Agvet Code of the participating Territories

                   The Agvet Code of the participating Territories binds the Crown in all its capacities.

14  Agvet Code of other jurisdictions

                   The Agvet Code of each State binds the Crown in right of the Commonwealth and of the Australian Capital Territory.

15  Crown not liable to prosecution

                   Nothing in this Part, or in the Agvet Code of any jurisdiction, renders the Crown liable to be prosecuted for an offence.

                   If, because of this Part, a provision of a law of the Commonwealth or of a State binds the Crown in right of the Commonwealth or of the Australian Capital Territory, the Crown in that capacity is subject to that provision despite any prerogative right or privilege.

Part 5—Performance of functions that corresponding laws of States confer on Commonwealth authorities and officers

  

17  Ministers

                   A corresponding law may confer prescribed functions and powers on a Minister.

18  Commonwealth authorities and officers

             (1)  A corresponding law of a jurisdiction may confer duties, functions and powers in respect of any matter arising in relation to the applicable provisions of the jurisdiction:

                     (a)  upon the Administrative Appeals Tribunal; or

                     (b)  upon an inspector appointed under subsection 69F(1) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Administration) Act 1992; or

                     (c)  upon an analyst approved under section 69G of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Administration) Act 1992.

Note:          Subsection 7(2) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Administration) Act 1992 deals with functions and powers conferred on the APVMA by State laws.

             (2)  A corresponding law may confer such other duties, functions and powers as are prescribed upon authorities and officers of the Commonwealth.

             (3)  In enacting subsections (1) and (2), it is the intention of the Parliament to rely on all powers available to it under the Constitution.

18A  Conferral of duties, functions and powers

             (1)  To the extent that an authority or officer of the Commonwealth (including a Minister) has a duty, function or power that is conferred, or taken to be conferred, by a corresponding law:

                     (a)  that duty, function or power is not taken to be conferred by Commonwealth law; and

                     (b)  section 18 is not taken to authorise the conferral of the duty, function or power;

if the conferral or authorisation would contravene a constitutional doctrine restricting the duties that may be conferred on authorities or officers of the Commonwealth, or would otherwise exceed the legislative power of the Commonwealth.

             (2)  If, to ensure the validity of the conferral of a duty, function or power purportedly conferred on an authority or officer of the Commonwealth (including a Minister) by a corresponding law, it is necessary that the duty, function or power be conferred by a law of the Commonwealth, rather than by a law of a State, the duty, function or power is taken to be conferred by this Act to the extent necessary to ensure that validity.

             (3)  If, because of subsection (2), this Act is taken to confer a duty, function or power upon an authority or officer of the Commonwealth (including a Minister), it is the intention of the Parliament to rely on all powers available to it under the Constitution to support the conferral of the duty, function or power.

             (4)  Subsections (2) and (3) do not limit section 18.

19  Gazette notices under corresponding laws

                   A corresponding law may require or permit a document, or a copy of a document, to be published in the Gazette.

             (3)  Jurisdiction is conferred on the courts of the participating Territories with respect to all criminal matters arising under the Agvet Code of the participating Territories or the Agvet Regulations of the participating Territories.

             (4)  The Federal Court of Australia may exercise jurisdiction (whether original or appellate) conferred on that Court by a law of the Northern Territory corresponding to this Part with respect to matters arising under the Agvet Code or the Agvet Regulations of the Northern Territory.

21  Exercise of jurisdiction under cross‑vesting provisions

                   This Act does not affect the operation of a provision of any other law of the Commonwealth, or any law of a State or of a participating Territory, relating to cross‑vesting of jurisdiction.

Part 7—Miscellaneous

  

22  Orders

                   Orders in force for the time being under section 7 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 have the same effect for the purposes of the Agvet Code of the participating Territories as they would have if they were provisions of the Agvet Regulations of those Territories.

23  Manufacturing principles

             (1)  The APVMA may, by legislative instrument, determine for the purposes of Part 8 of the Agvet Code of the participating Territories principles to be observed in the manufacture of chemical products that are consistent with the Agvet Codes, the Agvet Regulations and the laws of any jurisdiction that relate to occupational health or safety.
