Short title and purpose of Act
1 Short title and purpose of Act
This Act may be cited as the Corporations (Commonwealth Powers)
Act 2001.
The purpose of this Act is to refer certain matters relating to corporations and financial products and services to the Parliament of the
Commonwealth for the purposes of section 51(xxxvii) of the Constitution of the Commonwealth, so as to enable that Parliament to make laws that apply of their own force in the State, instead of those matters being dealt with by the Corporations Law and other applied laws.
Nothing in this Act is intended to enable the making of a law pursuant to the amendment reference with the sole or main underlying purpose or object of regulating industrial relations matters even if, but for this subsection, the law would be a law with respect to a matter referred to the
Parliament of the Commonwealth by the amendment reference.
