A provision referred to in subclause (1) may, if the regulations so provide, take effect as from the date of assent to the Act concerned or a later day.
To the extent to which a provision referred to in subclause (1) takes effect from a date that is earlier than the date of its publication in the Gazette, the provision does not operate so as—
to affect, in a manner prejudicial to any person (other than the State or an authority of the State), the rights of that person existing before the date of its publication in the Gazette, or
to impose liabilities on any person (other than the State or an authority of the State) in respect of any thing done or omitted to be done before the date of its publication in the Gazette.
A provision referred to in subclause (1) that is consequent on the enactment of an Act that is assented to after 27 September 2018 may, if the regulations so provide, take effect from a date that is earlier than the date of assent to that Act.
Subclauses (3) and (6) do not limit the operation of this clause in its application to regulations containing provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of an Act that is assented to after 27 September 2018.
A provision referred to in subclause (1) or (3A) shall, if the regulations so provide, have effect notwithstanding any other clause of this Schedule.
The power to make regulations under subclause (1) extends to authorise the making of regulations whereby the provisions of this Act, the cognate Acts or the Acts amended by the cognate Acts, or any of them, are deemed to be amended in the manner set forth in the regulations.
Regulations made pursuant to subclause (5)—
may only be made for or with respect to matters for or with respect to which this Act and the cognate Acts make provision,
shall have no effect in so far as they would, but for this paragraph, have the effect of amending (directly or indirectly) this subclause, and
shall, unless sooner revoked or otherwise ceasing to have effect, be deemed to be revoked on 31 December 1999,
and no such regulation may be made or published after that date.
Without limiting subclauses (1), (2) and (4), regulations made for the purposes of this clause may amend this Schedule to provide for additional or different savings and transitional provisions instead of including the provisions in the regulations.
