The Regulations extend the geographic scope of the Extradition Act to include Papua New Guinea (Reg 4) and modify the Act's timing for that country by treating a 45‑day reference as 60 days in paragraph 17(2)(a) when applied to Papua New Guinea (Reg 6)."},"complexity_factors":["Very short instrument: only a few operative regulations (regs 3–6) with limited text.","Direct cross‑references to the Extradition Act 1988 (definition of 'extradition country' in s.5 and application/modification in s.11).","Targeted temporal modification: substitutes 60 days for 45 days in paragraph 17(2)(a) of the Act when applied to Papua New Guinea (Reg 6).","Creates geographic scope by declaring Papua New Guinea an extradition country (Reg 4); requires reading both instruments together to understand effect.","Amendment history is compact but relevant (SLI 2012 No. 210: shows a repeal entry for R.5), so users must consult compilation notes for current form."],"plain_english_summary":"These Regulations declare Papua New Guinea an \"extradition country\" under the Extradition Act 1988 and change one statutory timing: where the Act refers to 45 days, a 60‑day period applies for Papua New Guinea. Mechanically, Australian extradition procedures and timeframes apply to PNG but with a longer statutory window for the specified step.\n\nIt affects people sought for extradition, Australian and PNG officials who make and process requests, and courts deciding surrender.
