             (1)  This Act applies to a Commonwealth contractor, in respect of conduct referred to in subsection 30(1) that is engaged in by the Commonwealth contractor, only if, and in so far as, the conduct is engaged in:

                     (a)  for or on behalf of a Commonwealth entity; and

                     (b) under or for the purposes of a contract with the Commonwealth entity.

             (2)  This Act applies to a Commonwealth contractor, in respect of a dealing by the Commonwealth contractor with controlled material or controlled apparatus, only if, and in so far as, the dealing is:

                     (a) for or on behalf of a Commonwealth entity; and
