Here’s your homework, monkeyfly:
Read sections 3, 8, 9, 10, 16 and 17 of the
Air Service Act 1995 here:
http://scaleplus.law.gov.au/html/pas...2/1217/top.htm
Then read the whole Act, twice. Note especially subsections 16(1) and 16(4).
Read Parts 1 and 2 of the Air Service Regulations here:
http://scaleplus.law.gov.au/html/pas...2/1215/top.htm
Then read the whole Regulations, twice. Note especially subregulation 2.04(1).
Then read
Project Blue Sky v Australian Broadcasting Authority here (about characterisation of statutory requirements and the effect of failure to comply with them):
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/1998/28.html
Then read
National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Legal Services Secretariat Limited v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs here(in relation to the nature and scope of Ministerial direction powers):
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/c.../2003/287.html
Then have a quick squiz at the
Civil Aviation Act 1988, the
Civil Aviation Regulations 1988, the
Civil Aviation Regulation 1998, the
Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997.
Then it gets complicated.
