Superannuation Act 1916

A spouse’s or de facto partner’s pension (within the meaning of section 46A) which, immediately before the commencement of Schedule 9 (7) to the Superannuation (Amendment) Act 1985, was not payable by reason of the operation of section 46A (2), becomes payable on and from that commencement, but any such pension is not payable in respect of any period before that commencement.

The widow of a contributor or pensioner, being a widow who remarried before 27 November 1969 and to whom a pension in accordance with section 30 or 31 was not payable on 30 June 1985 because of that remarriage, shall be paid pension in accordance with section 30 or 31, as the case may be, as from 1 July 1985.

A reference in this Act to a person who becomes entitled to a pension at a particular time does not include a reference to a person to whom a pension becomes payable as referred to in subclause (1) or (1A) at that time.
