Biosecurity Act 1993

Enforcement, offences, and penalties - Offences

158: Fines to be paid to management agency instituting prosecution

You could also call this:

"Money from fines goes to the group that took you to court"

If you get fined for breaking a rule in the Biosecurity Act 1993, the money from the fine goes to the group that took you to court. This rule is part of the law about offences. The rule about fines is no longer part of the law because it was repealed on 18 September 2012 by the Biosecurity Law Reform Act 2012, which you can read more about on the Biosecurity Law Reform Act 2012 page.
