- make a technical amendment to put beyond doubt that there is a requirement imposed on the operator of an aircraft or vessel to ensure that the aircraft or vessel does not leave Australian territory with an Australian citizen or permanent resident on board;
- expand the decision-making authority to grant exemptions; and,
- make other minor technical amendments to remove reference to the commencement date of the Determination and to clarify that only an Act can declare an instrument not to be a legislative instrument.
