ROAD SAFETY ROAD RULES 2009 (SR NO 94 OF 2009) - REG 9A

    (1)     The Acts Interpretation Act 1901 of the Commonwealth, other than section 15AD of that Act, applies to the interpretation of these Rules as if—

        (a)     these Rules were an Act; and

        (b)     each rule were a section of an Act.

    (2)     However, in these Rules—

        (a)     a reference to "Gazette" or "Government Gazette" is a reference to the Victorian Government Gazette; and

        (b)     a reference to "the Minister" is a reference to the Minister administering the Road Safety Act 1986 .

Notes

1     Section 95(3C) of the Road Safety Act 1986 provides that regulations may apply Commonwealth interpretation enactments to the interpretation of the regulations, in whole or part and with or without modifications. However, section 95(3E) provides that this does not prevent the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 from applying to the extent that it can do so consistently with that Commonwealth legislation.

2     Section 15AD of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901, which deals with the effect of examples in a provision of a Commonwealth Act, does not apply to the interpretation of these Rules. In relation to the status and effect of examples in these Rules see section 36A of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 .
