FRLI ID: F2012L02263
Portfolio: Infrastructure and Transport
Committee view
2.2
The committee seeks clarification from the Minister for Infrastructure
and Transport in relation to the possible impact this regulation may have on
the right to privacy, and any safeguards that may be in place to ensure that
any interference is justifiable.
Overview
2.3
This regulation amends the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities
Security Regulations 2003 to, among other things, prescribe continual
supervision by security personnel and/or continual monitoring by Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) as the supervision and control measures for ensuring that
persons and baggage that have received clearance remain cleared on vessels that
are not cleared vessels or in areas that are not cleared areas.
Compatibility with human rights
2.4
The statement of compatibility states that the regulation does not
engage any of the applicable rights or freedoms.
2.5
However, by prescribing continuous supervision by security
personnel and/or continuous monitoring by CCTV the regulation may engage the
right to privacy in article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights (ICCPR).
