Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This instrument repeals the 2015 declaration and declares that most vessels that would have fallen under paragraph 10(c) of the Navigation Act 1912 (but not 10(a) or (b)) and that operate only in intra‑state trade are not "prescribed ships" under the Seafarers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1992 (cl.1–2,4). Clause 3 preserves coverage where subsection 19(1A) of the Act applies. Mechanically, it narrows Commonwealth prescription and therefore changes which operators, crews and insurers fall inside the federal rehabilitation and compensation regime.
