Biosecurity Act 1993

Preliminary

5: Act binds the Crown

You could also call this:

"The government must follow this law's rules, with some exceptions."

This Act applies to the Crown, but there are some exceptions. You need to look at subsection 2 to see what these exceptions are. The Crown has to follow the rules in this Act, except when it says otherwise.

The Crown also has to follow regional pest management plans and regional pathway management plans, but only to a certain extent. You can find out more about this in section 69(5) for pest management plans and section 89(5) for pathway management plans. These sections explain how the Crown is affected by these plans.
