Maritime Safety Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)
The new section 33 inserted by the amendment will regulate jet skis. I am particularly interested in the section which will give the Minister power to make regulations providing that the use of a pleasure craft must not create a disturbance or constitute a nuisance. This issue was raised by many Senators on Second Stage, particularly in terms of inland waterways and lakes. Does the new section give the Minister power to make by-laws to control jet skis?
