Summary

Edit

The majority voted in favour of a motion to agree with the main idea of the bill. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill for a second time. This means that they can now discuss it in greater detail.

What is the main idea of this bill?

The bill was introduced in order to:

  • prevent the use of aviation and maritime transport or offshore facilities in connection with serious crime;
  • establish a regulatory framework to implement harmonised eligibility criteria for the aviation security identification card (ASIC) and maritime security identification card (MSIC) schemes;
  • clarify and align the legislative basis for undertaking security checking of ASIC and MSIC applicants and holders;
  • provide for regulations to prescribe penalties for offences; and
  • insert an additional severability provision to provide guidance to a court as to Parliament’s intention.
