159. This section provides the Parliament:
:(A) shall have the purpose of advancing humanity and the environment together, by way of making laws to govern the business and affairs of Urabba&nbsp;Parks and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (which are together called Urabba&nbsp;Parks in this section), and other entities in its legislative group; and
:(B) shall have power, subject to this Constitution, to make laws for the peace, order and good government of Urabba&nbsp;Parks with respect to:
::(i) trade and commerce with entities outside Urabba&nbsp;Parks, and among the jurisdictional divisions – as most transactions between parts of Urabba&nbsp;Parks fit within the broad definition of ‘trade and commerce,’ this power gives Parliament the power to regulate the sale of goods and services by entities;
::(ii) revenue items; but so as not to discriminate between jurisdictional divisions or parts of jurisdictional divisions – this gives Parliament the power to raise funds it needs to provide government services;
::(iii) charity distributions to ordinary members of Urabba&nbsp;Parks – [[Constitution of Urabba Parks/Section 104|section&nbsp;104]] provides for the charity distribution rights of service and patron members in the case of a distribution to ordinary members;
::(iv) borrowing money on the credit of Urabba&nbsp;Parks – this gives Parliament the power to regulate borrowing by the Executive Government and entities;

::(vii) the objects of Urabba&nbsp;Parks – this gives Parliament the power to expand or restrict charitable purposes to better achieve its purpose of advancing humanity and the environment together;
::(viii) compliance with Australian law – such compliance is a responsibility of Urabba&nbsp;Parks under ACNC governance standard&nbsp;3;
::(ix) approved benefits – the regulation of benefits provided to related parties is a responsibility of Urabba&nbsp;Parks under ACNC governance standard&nbsp;1;
::(x) monitoring the conformity of a jurisdictional division with provisions in [[Constitution of Urabba Parks/Contents#Ch9|Chapter&nbsp;9]], or any document made under those provisions – this gives Parliament the power to ensure the conformity across Urabba&nbsp;Parks to its core positions on social and environmental issues, such as respect for human rights, integrity in governance, and stakeholder engagement;

::(xii) the custody of cash and financial assets – this gives Parliament the power to regulate the opening and maintenance of transaction accounts and financial investments such as term deposits and share portfolios;
::(xiii) the opening, maintenance and closing of giving accounts and giving pools – this is the equivalent in Urabba&nbsp;Parks to the ‘banking’ power in paragraph&nbsp;51(xiii) of the Australian Constitution, as giving accounts and giving pools are effectively ‘bank accounts’ which can be drawn on for the purposes of charity distributions;
::(xiv) insurance, including the requirement for an entity to maintain insurance and any requirements imposed by a contract for insurance entered into by the Executive Management of Urabba&nbsp;Parks that insures the entity’s activities – this gives Parliament the power to manage risks by mandating insurance coverage for entities and enforcing within Urabba&nbsp;Parks the conditions of insurance agreements covering the entity;

::(xxii) matters related to persons in which Urabba&nbsp;Parks has a role in the custody, administration or guardianship – this gives Parliament the power to keep persons in the care of entities as safe as possible by regulating the conduct of relevant personnel;
::(xxiii) invalid and old age pensions, maternity allowances, widows’ pensions, child endowment, unemployment, pharmaceutical, sickness and hospital benefits, medical and dental services, benefits to students and family allowances, as well as benefits for the care of animals and veterinary services, provided that benefits and services provided under this subparagraph shall be charitable benefits, benefits incidental or necessary to the provision of such benefits or provided by a non-charitable subsidiary – this gives Parliament the power to directly fund charitable benefits provided to individuals and animals and regulate services related to such benefits;

::(xxx) the relations of Urabba&nbsp;Parks with the Executive Government of the Commonwealth, the government of a foreign country or any part of Australia or a foreign country, and local government entities – this is intended to complement the ‘compliance with Australian law’ power (see subparagraph&nbsp;(viii));

::(xxxv) the exclusion from the definition of an eligible charity – because members are able to nominate for charity distributions any charity that has similar objects to Urabba&nbsp;Parks, subject to exclusions provided under law, this gives Parliament the power to limit entities to which charity distributions can be made, which may provide clarity to members and financial supporters about the charity beneficiaries of Urabba&nbsp;Parks;
