(a) the emblem of a red cross with vertical and horizontal arms of the same length on, and completely surrounded by, a white ground, or the designation "Red Cross or "Geneva Cross";

(b) the emblem of a red crescent moon on, and completely surrounded by, a white ground, or the designation "Red Crescent";

(c) the following emblem in red on, and completely surrounded by, a white ground, that is to say, a lion passing from right to left of, and with its face turned towards, the observer, holding erect in its raised right forepaw a scimitar, with, appearing above the lion's back, the upper half of the sun shooting forth rays, or the designation "Red Lion and Sun";

(d) the emblem of a white or silver cross with vertical and horizontal arms of the same length on, and completely surrounded by, a red ground, being the heraldic emblem of the Swiss Confederation;

(e) a design or wording so nearly resembling any of the emblems or designations specified in the preceding paragraphs of this subsection as to be capable of being mistaken for, or, as the case may be, understood as referring to, one of those emblems.

Penalty: One hundred dollars.

(2) The Minister or a person authorized by the Minister to give consents under this section shall not refuse to give such a consent, and shall not withdraw such a consent, except for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of the Conventions.

(3) An authority given under section four of the Geneva Convention Act 1938 and in force immediately before the commencement of this section shall be deemed to be a consent to the like effect given by the Minister under this section.

(4) Where a person is convicted of an offence against subsection (1) of this section, the court may, in addition to any fine, order the forfeiture to the Commonwealth of any goods upon or in connexion with which the emblem, designation, design or wording was used by that person.

(5) In the case of a trade mark registered before the day on which this Act received the Royal Assent, the preceding provisions of this section do not apply by reason only of its consisting of or containing an emblem or designation specified in paragraph (b) or (c) of subsection (1) of this section or a design or wording resembling such an emblem or designation; and where a person is charged with using such an emblem, designation, design or wording for any purpose and it is proved that he used it otherwise than as, or as part of, a trade mark so registered, it is a defence for him to prove:

(a) that he lawfully used that emblem, designation, design or wording for that purpose before the day on which this Act received the Royal Assent; or

(b) in a case where he is charged with using the emblem, designation, design or wording upon goods, that the emblem, designation, design or wording had been applied to the goods before he acquired them by some other person who had manufactured or dealt with the goods in the course of trade and who lawfully used the emblem, designation, design or wording upon similar goods before the day on which this Act received the Royal Assent.

(6) Where an offence against this section committed by a body corporate is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of a director, manager, secretary or other officer of the body corporate, or a person purporting to act in any such capacity, he, as well as the body corporate, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.

(7) This section extends to the use in or outside Australia of an emblem, designation, design or wording referred to in subsection (1) of this section on any ship or aircraft registered in Australia.
