Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts [(1) deleted]
(1a) For the purposes
of subsection (1), the amount per week payable for the benefit of a child
referred to therein is —
(i)
$10; or
(ii)
$4, together with the amount ascertained by dividing
by 4 (or, if the number of eligible children of the contributor or
pensioner in respect of whom the payment is to be made under
subsection (1) is greater than 4, by the number of those children) the
amount of the weekly equivalent of the rate of the pension that, but for the
death or divorce of the wife of the contributor or pensioner, would, by virtue
of section 62(1), have been payable to her,
whichever is the
greater amount per week.
(2) Where a male
contributor or a male pensioner whose wife is dead or divorced has died
leaving children of himself or of his wife who were under the age of
16 years or were student children at the time of his death, and all such
children have ceased to be entitled to the benefit of the pension referred to
in subsection (1), and the total amount of the Fund’s share of any
pensions paid to the contributor or pensioner and in respect of the children
is less than the total amount of the contributions credited to the Fund by the
contributor or pensioner, the Board shall pay a sum equal to the amount by
which the Fund’s share of those pensions is less than those
contributions, together with compound interest on that amount at a rate per
centum determined by the Board, to the children in equal shares, or to the
guardian (if any) of the children or to some other person approved by the
Board, to be used for the support and education of the children.
