65.(1) After section 4 of the Principal Act the following section is inserted:
Declarations, determinations, approvals etc. by Minister, Board or
Commissioner

"4AA.(1) If a provision of this Act refers to a declaration or determination
made, approval given or other thing done by the Minister, the Board or the
Commissioner and there is no other provision in this Act expressly authorising
the Minister, the Board or the Commissioner to make such a declaration or
determination, give such an approval or do such a thing, the Minister, the
Board or the Commissioner, as the case may be, is, and is taken to have at all
times been, authorised to make such a declaration or determination, give such
an approval or do such a thing.

(2) An approval given by the Minister for the purposes of the definition of
'temporary employee' in subsection 3(1) may take effect on a day not earlier
than:

   (a)  12 months before the giving of the approval; or

   (b)  if contributions have been accepted before the start of that period of
        12 months from, or in respect of, the person to whom the approval
        relates-the earliest day on which contributions were so accepted.".

(2) Subsection 4AA(1) of the Principal Act as amended by subsection (1) of
this section is taken to have had effect on and from 1 July 1976.

(3) An approval given before the commencement of this section for the
purposes of the definition of "temporary employee" in subsection 3(1) of the
Superannuation Act 1976 that purported to take effect on a day earlier than
the day on which the approval was given has the effect, and is taken to have
at all times had the effect, that it would have, or would have had, if
subsection 4AA(2) of the Principal Act as amended by subsection (1) of this
section had been in force when the approval was given.
