This section applies to a liability that became a liability of the Commonwealth under section 67AG.
The Minister for Finance may, by writing, make any or all of the following declarations:
a declaration that a specified liability ceases to be a liability of the Commonwealth and becomes a liability of a specified person at a specified time;
a declaration that a specified instrument relating to a specified liability continues to have effect after the liability becomes a liability of a specified person as if a reference in the instrument to the Commonwealth were a reference to the person;
a declaration that a specified person becomes the Commonwealth's successor in law in relation to a specified liability immediately after the liability becomes a liability of the person.
A declaration under subsection (2) has effect accordingly.
A copy of a declaration under subsection (2) is to be published in the Gazette within 14 days after the making of the declaration.
