AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY (SELF-GOVERNMENT) ACT 1988 - SECT 35

             (1)  In this section:

"enactment" includes a part of an enactment.

             (2)  Subject to this section, the Governor‑General may, by legislative instrument, disallow an enactment within 6 months after it is made.

             (4)  The Governor‑General may, within 6 months after an enactment is made, recommend to the Assembly any amendments of the enactment, or of any other enactment, that the Governor‑General considers to be desirable as a result of considering the enactment.

             (5)  Where the Governor‑General so recommends any amendments, the time within which the Governor‑General may disallow the enactment is extended for 6 months after the date of the recommendation.

             (6)  Upon publication in the Commonwealth Gazette of notice of the disallowance of an enactment, the disallowance has, subject to subsection (7), the same effect as a repeal of the enactment.

             (7)  If a provision of a disallowed enactment amended or repealed an enactment that was in force immediately before the commencement of that provision, the disallowance revives the previous enactment from the date of publication of the notice of disallowance as if the disallowed provision had not been made.

             (8)  For the purposes of this section, an enactment shall be taken to be made when it is notified in the Territory Gazette under this Part.
