Indeed, alpha. I have another name for it, but I shouldn't print it.
One titbit was that one does not write legislation unless a penalty can be applied to it.
Yes, that's a common furphy that's circulated.
There's plenty of legislation that contains
no provision dealing with the consequences of a person's failure to comply with the person's obligations imposed by the legislation. Many of the aviation regulations should only have an administrative consequence for breach rather than a criminal consequence as well. The primary reasons for the aviation regulations being a confetti shower of strict liability offences are
not that the imposition of strict liability is consistent with the AGD
Guide to Framing Commonwealth Offences, Civil Penalties and Enforcement Powers.
