National Gas (Act) Act 2008

The Legislation Act, section 121 (Binding effects of Acts) applies to the National Gas (ACT) Law and the National Gas (ACT) Regulation as if—

the National Gas (ACT) Law were an Act; and

the National Gas (ACT) Regulation were a regulation made or in force under the National Gas (ACT) Law.

Note 1 The Legislation Act, s 121 provides that an Act binds all governments, including the Territory, the Commonwealth, a State and another Territory. However, the Australian Capital Territory (Self‑Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 27 provides that, except as provided by the regulations under that Act, an ACT enactment does not bind the Crown in right of the Commonwealth.

Note 2 A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including any regulation (see s 8 (2) and Legislation Act, s 104).
