4. Section 48 of the Principal Act is amended -

   (a)  by omitting paragraph (5A) (a) and substituting the following
        paragraph:



"(a) the House of Representatives is dissolved or expires, or the Parliament
is prorogued; and";

(b) by inserting in sub-section (5A) "first-mentioned" before "House" (third
and fourth occurring); and

   (c)  by omitting sub-section (6) and substituting the following
        sub-sections:



"(6) Where a regulation is disallowed, or is deemed to have been disallowed,
under this section or becomes void and of no effect by virtue of the operation
of sub-section (3), the disallowance of the regulation or the operation of
sub-section (3) in relation to the regulation, as the case may be, has the
same effect as a repeal of the regulation.



"(7) Where -

   (a)  a regulation (in this sub-section referred to as the 'relevant
        regulation') is disallowed, or is deemed to have been disallowed,
        under this section or becomes void and of no effect by virtue of the
        operation of sub-section (3); and

   (b)  the relevant regulation repealed, in whole or in part, another
        regulation that was in force immediately before the relevant
        regulation came into operation, the disallowance of the relevant
        regulation or the operation of sub-section (3) in relation to the
        relevant regulation, as the case may be, has the effect of reviving
        that other regulation from and including the date of the disallowance
        or the date on which the relevant regulation became void and of no
        effect by virtue of that operation of sub-section (3), as the case may
        be, as if the relevant regulation had not been made.".
