Queensland boat owners need to know:

In Queensland, if you own a boat over 12 metres you can be fined $85,000 for NOT DISPLAYING A STICKER!

Yep, apparently it's a pretty heinous crime, not having a sticker, serious assaults often recieve lighter punishments, but it's here in part 8: (one "penalty unit" equals $100.)

http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LE...nstOpMPA95.pdf

"
55AA Placard about garbage disposal requirements
(1) If a ship that is at least 12m in length overall does not display
a placard complying with subsection (2), the ship’s owner and
master each commit an offence.
Maximum penalty—850 penalty units.
(2) The placard must—
(a) notify the ship’s crew and passengers of the prohibitions
and requirements under this Act for the disposal of
garbage; and
(b) be written in English and, if the ship is owned or
operated by a foreign country, the working language of
the ship’s crew."
