                     (b)  a person being liable to pay a pecuniary penalty in relation to a contravention of a law of the Commonwealth.

             (2)  Subsection (1) has effect despite section 211 (which deals with the approval of variations of enterprise agreements).

             (3)  If FWA refuses to approve a variation of an enterprise agreement under this section, FWA may refer the agreement as proposed to be varied to any person or body FWA considers appropriate.
