  (2)   A determination under subsection   (1) is not a legislative instrument.

  (3)   Subject to subsection   (4), the authorised officer's remuneration, charges and expenses are to be borne by the Commonwealth.

  (4)   The Registrar:

  (a)   may determine, in writing, that some or all of the authorised officer's remuneration, charges or expenses are to be borne by the corporation or a related body corporate; and

  (b)   may charge some or all of the remuneration, charges or expenses referred to in paragraph   (a) on the property of the corporation or a related body corporate in such order of priority in relation to any existing charges on that property as the Registrar thinks fit.

Note 1:   The effect of this subsection is that the priority between a charge created in accordance with paragraph   (4)(b) and a security interest to which the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 applies is to be determined in accordance with this Act rather than the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 .

Note 2:   Subsection   73(2) of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 applies to charges that arise after the commencement of subsection   (5A) (which is the registration commencement time within the meaning of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 ).
