any other provisions of this Act, a person —
who is “a person
of Aboriginal descent” as that term is defined in section 4 of the
Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority Act 1972 ,
may take fauna or

upon Crown land or
upon any other land, not being a nature reserve or wildlife sanctuary, but
where occupied, with the consent of the occupier of that land,
sufficient only for
food for himself and his family, but not for sale —
and the Governor may,
if he is satisfied that the provisions of this section are being abused or
that any species of fauna or flora which is being taken under the authority of
this section is likely to become unduly depleted, by regulation suspend or
restrict the operation of this section in such manner and for such period and
in such part or parts of the State as he thinks proper.
(2) The CEO may issue
a certificate to any person authorising him to sell the skins of kangaroos
which he has lawfully taken for food under the provisions of this section.
