Subsection (1), based on the section 42 of the Australian Constitution, requires a member of a House of the Parliament must make and subscribe an oath, affirmation or declaration in the form set out in Schedule 1 (the declaration requirement). It is expected that, because of evidence laws of state jurisdictions where parliamentary proceedings take place, that a declaration would be used in place of an oath or affirmation. Subsection (2) applies the declaration requirement to alternate members. 145. Subsection (3) provides for the purpose of the declaration requirement – as a reminder to the member to ‘the obligation to act in the best interests of Urabba Parks as a whole.’ The declaration requirement is significant to remind new members of Parliament about their responsibilities. Even though the declaration is an acknowledgement of the Enactor, such acknowledgement is intended in substance to be an acknowledgement of the charitable objects and not-for-profit nature of Urabba Parks. This is because when a member acknowledges the Enactor, they acknowledge the heir or successor of the Founder, who intends that Urabba Parks be charitable and democratic in nature.
