Committee view
1.2
The committee thanks the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and
Forestry for providing further information regarding the relevant policies and
legal requirements for the storage, handling and disposal of E-monitoring data.
Having considered this further information in conjunction with the statement of
compatibility, the committee is satisfied that this bill does not appear to
raise any human rights concerns.
Purpose of the bill

This bill amends the Fisheries Management Act 1991 and the Fisheries
Administration Act 1991 to:
- introduce electronic monitoring (e-monitoring) to Australian boats that
are authorised to fish under concessions and scientific permits granted by the
Commonwealth; and
-
make several minor amendments to the FM Act to clarify and make
provisions consistent.
