Amendment Act 2000
[s 616N]

                      authority (SAA) is issued and has taken effect under the
                      current Act.
           (2)   However, despite subsection (1)(c), if a transitional authority
                 (SAA) is transferred under chapter 5, part 9 to a
                 wholly-owned subsidiary of the holder of the authority within
                 the meaning of the Corporations Act, the authority does not
                 end.
           (3)   To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsection (1) does
                 not limit chapter 5, part 12.
