Effect of termination of amendment reference or transition reference before initial reference

7. Effect of termination of amendment reference or transition reference before
initial reference



(1) If the amendment reference or the transition reference terminates before
the initial reference, the termination of the amendment reference or
transition reference does not affect-

   (a)  laws that were made under that reference before that termination
        (whether or not they have come into operation before that
        termination); or

   (b)  the continued operation in the State of the Commonwealth Fair Work Act
        as in operation immediately before that termination or as subsequently
        amended or affected by-

   (i)  laws referred to in paragraph (a) that come into operation after that
        termination; or

   (ii) provisions referred to in section 4(4).

(2) Accordingly, the amendment reference or transition reference continues to
have effect for the purposes of subsection (1) unless the initial reference is
terminated.

(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to or in relation to an amendment of the
Commonwealth Fair Work Act that is excluded from the operation of this section
by the proclamation that terminates the reference.
