TELSTRA CORPORATION ACT 1991 - SECT 9P

  (1)   Subject to this section, if a person who was an employee of a Telstra body before the designated day committed a corruption offence while such an employee, then, on and after the designated day, the Crimes (Superannuation Benefits) Act 1989 continues to apply in relation to the person in respect of the offence as if the Telstra body continued to be a Commonwealth authority.

  (2)   A superannuation order may not be made under the Crimes (Superannuation Benefits) Act 1989 in relation to employer contributions or benefits paid or payable to a superannuation scheme by a Telstra body on or after the designated day.

  (3)   A superannuation scheme in relation to which employer contributions or benefits are paid or payable by a Telstra body is not a superannuation scheme for the purposes of the Crimes (Superannuation Benefits) Act 1989 in respect of a corruption offence committed by a person on or after the designated day.

  (4)   Despite paragraph   19(3)(d) of the Crimes (Superannuation Benefits) Act 1989 , an order under that paragraph may only order that an amount be paid to the Commonwealth.

  (5)   If:

  (a)   a person who was an employee of Telstra before the designated day committed a corruption offence while such an employee; and

  (b)   the person was paid benefits before, on or after that day out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund;

then, despite paragraph   19(4)(b) of the Crimes (Superannuation Benefits) Act 1989 , an order under that paragraph may only order that an amount be paid to the Commonwealth.

  (6)   Unless the contrary intention appears, expressions used in this section that are also used in the Crimes (Superannuation Benefits) Act 1989 have the same meanings in this section as in that Act .
