National Energy Retail Law (Queensland)

This clause applies if—

before the start day, an entity or other person had started, or was required or permitted to start, doing a thing; and

on the start day—

the entity or other person has not finished doing the thing; or

the period within which the thing is required or permitted to be done has not ended; and

in doing the thing the entity or other person is required to consider or apply the national energy retail objective by, for example—

having regard to the national energy retail objective; or

doing the thing in a manner that will or is likely to contribute to the achievement of the national energy retail objective.

The national energy retail objective as in force before the commencement of this clause, and as continued under clause 8 until the start day, continues to apply in relation to the doing of the thing.

However, a government or regulatory entity may decide to consider or apply the amended objective in relation to the doing of the thing.
