10 Act to be construed not to exceed legislative power of State
This Act is to be construed as operating to the full extent of, but so as not to exceed, the legislative power of the State.
If a provision of this Act, or the application of a provision of this Act to a person, subject matter or circumstance, would, but for this section, be construed as being in excess of the legislative power of the State—
it is a valid provision to the extent to which it is not in excess of the power, and
the remainder of this Act, and the application of the provision to other persons, subject matters or circumstances, is not affected.
This section applies to this Act in addition to, and without limiting the effect of, any provision of this Act.
