ACTS INTERPRETATION ACT 1901 - SECT 10

    Where an Act contains a reference to a short title that is or was provided by law for the citation of another Act as originally enacted, or of another Act as amended, then:

  (a)   the reference shall be construed as a reference to that other Act as originally enacted and as amended from time to time; and

  (b)   where that other Act has been repealed and re - enacted, with or without modifications, the reference shall be construed as including a reference to the re - enacted Act as originally enacted and as amended from time to time; and

  (c)   if a provision of the other Act is repealed and re - enacted (including where the other Act is repealed and re - enacted), with or without modifications, a reference to the repealed provision extends to any corresponding re - enacted provision (whether or not the re - enacted provision has the same number as the repealed provision).
