Exemption when film rated by internationally recognised film censors
←→ Navigate · Click subsection badges to collapse · Press ? for help
A person who owns or controls a film which has been ascribed a rating or classification by a board of internationally recognised film censors —
is not required to apply for a rating certificate prior to the public exhibition of the film; and
is not precluded from exhibiting the film to a child if the rating ascribed permits such exhibition.
Notwithstanding subsection (1) and subject to the assessment of the particulars under section 12(1), the Board may ascribe a contrary rating to a film in accordance with its rating policies and guidelines if it determines that the content of the film requires a rating different from the rating ascribed by the board of internationally recognised film censors.
A rating ascribed under subsection (1) or (2) shall be complied with by the person —
who owns or controls the film; and
who owns or controls the premises on which the film is to be publicly exhibited.
A person who contravenes subsection (3) is liable to a penalty of two thousand dollars or such other amount as may be prescribed and a further penalty of one hundred dollars for each day that such breach continues after the date of its proof.
