部分原文报道如下:
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources administers two sets of requirements for imported food. Food imported into Australia:
·must meet biosecurity requirements under the Biosecurity Act 2015 (Cwlth)
·is subject to the imported Food Control Act 1992 (Cwlth) to meet requirements for food safety and compliance with Australia's food standards.
Under the Legislation Act 2003, legislative instruments made between 1990 and 1994 will automatically be repealed on 1 October 2018. In many cases, a replacement instrument will need to be made and registered before the instrument sunsets to ensure continuity of the law. This applies to the imported Food Control Regulations 1993 (the Regulations)。
