Disallowable instrument DI2004–258
Made under the 
Road Transport (Offences) Regulations 2001, subsection 21(1)(e) Meaning of holiday period.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Road Transport (Offences) Regulation 2001, subsection 21(1)(e), provide for the Minister to declare a period to be a holiday period.  The declaration, by virtue of subsection 21(4), is a disallowable instrument for the purposes of section 9 of the Legislation Act 2001.

This instrument specifies the period from the first moment of Friday 24 December 2004 to the last moment of Monday 3 January 2005 (inclusive) to be a holiday period.  Accordingly, for this period, additional demerit points, as specified in subsection 20(2) of the Regulation, will apply.

The declaration will link the Christmas holiday period for December 2004 with the New Year holiday period for January 2005, which will be consistent with the double demerit period in NSW.
