Variation and revocation must be consistent with Commonwealth obligations
41CS Variation and revocation must be consistent with Commonwealth obligations
The Minister’s power to vary or revoke a Part III authority (whether under section 41CK or 41CR or otherwise) must not be exercised in a manner that is inconsistent with the obligations of the Commonwealth under an agreement specified in subsection (2) of this section, as that agreement is in force at the time of the exercise of the power.
For the purposes of subsection (1), an agreement entered into by the Commonwealth under section 44 or 46 of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (as that Act applies in relation to the Ranger Project Area) is specified.
The versions of sections 44 and 46 of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 that apply in relation to the Ranger Project Area are the versions in force immediately before the commencement of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment Act (No. 3) 1987: see section 8 of that amendment Act.
