Legislative Assembly to make laws in respect of particular matters, and so as not to exceed the legislative power of the Legislative
Assembly, to the intent that where any Act would, but for this section, have been construed as being in excess of that power it shall nevertheless be a valid Act to the extent to which it is not in excess of that power.
