becomes, upon the date on which the order of disapproval takes effect,

the agreement (including the agreement as varied by any later
agreement) so far as it relates to outwards cargo shipping;
(b) enter into any other conference agreement (whether with the same
parties or with other parties) that relates, in whole or in part, to
the carriage of goods from Australia to a place outside Australia that
is a place to the carriage of goods to which the disapproved agreement
related; or
(c) do any act or thing in pursuance of, or enforce or purport to enforce,
an agreement referred to in paragraph (b).
