             (1)  The Minister may, by legislative instrument signed by the Minister, amend the Trust Deed.

       (1AA)  Without limiting subsection (1), the Minister may amend the Trust Deed to:

                     (a)  authorise the Board to:

                              (i)  accept particular kinds of amounts in respect of particular kinds of people who are not members of the Scheme; and

                             (ii)  deal with those amounts under the Deed; and

                     (b)  define the functions of the Board in relation to those amounts; and

                     (c)  include provisions in the Rules dealing with:

                              (i)  the manner in which those amounts will be dealt with; and

                             (ii)  the benefits that are to become payable in relation to those amounts; and

                            (iii)  the circumstances in which entitlements to receive those benefits will arise; and

                            (iv)  any other matter relating to those amounts or those benefits.

          (1A)  The Minister may not amend the Trust Deed unless:

                     (a)  the Board has consented to the amendment; or

                     (b)  the amendment:

                              (i)  relates to a payment of an employer contribution that will, after the making of the amendment, be required or permitted to be made under this Act; or

                             (ii)  relates solely to the termination of the Scheme; or

                            (iii)  is made in circumstances covered by regulations made for the purposes of subparagraph 60(1)(b)(iii) of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 .

          (1B)  For the purposes of subparagraph (1A)(b)(i), a payment under the Trust Deed is taken to be a payment of an employer contribution.

             (2)  If compliance with a provision of the Trust Deed as amended under subsection (1) would have the effect that the Scheme:

                     (a)  would not be a regulated superannuation fund within the meaning of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 ; or

                     (b)  would not comply with that Act;

that provision is invalid.
