71J: Who may issue infringement notices

You could also call this:

"Rangers can give out special tickets if they're allowed"

The Director-General can give a ranger written permission to give out infringement notices under this Act. An infringement notice is a type of ticket that says you've broken a rule. This means that if you do something wrong in a national park, a ranger might give you one of these notices if they have been allowed to do so by the Director-General.
