Relevant notes from the Explanatory Memorandum[edit | edit source]

72. This section:

(A) provides the powers of Urabba Parks must be exercised by a resolution of the members (legislative or executive power) or the judicial power;
(B) provides that a person shall not knowingly or recklessly report for duty of any office or employment in Urabba Parks or enter a proceeding of an internal body if the person is disqualified or suspended from the proceedings of Urabba Parks, subject to exemptions for appearance at an internal body as required under the agreement of jurisdiction and participation in a scheme of work for offenders; and
(C) sets out the grounds for disqualification and suspension.

73. This intention of this section is to implement the jurisdiction by restricting the exercise of corporate powers to constitutionally recognised mechanisms and the right of members to attend meetings.

74. A person is disqualified if the person is imprisoned under the law of Australia, another country of which Her Majesty has foundation or another country provided under law or is disqualified under the law of Urabba Parks, another non-state jurisdiction of which the Enactor has foundation (being within the same foundation group of which Urabba Parks is a member), another non-state jurisdiction provided under law or another part of such jurisdiction. The ability of the provisions of other jurisdictions under law allows for the Parliament to recognise other jurisdictions for the purposes of this section.

75. A person is suspended if the person is subject to an order issued by a jurisdiction to do or pay anything under the law which has not been complied with. Such orders could include arrest warrants issued for failure to appear before a court, warrants issued by a non-state jurisdiction for exclusion from the premises of the jurisdiction pending the person’s appearance before that jurisdiction’s judicial power, as well as orders for remedies and damages payable as a result of a judicial order.
