Commonwealth Powers (Air Transport) Act 1952

This Act shall be read and construed –

as intended to refer to the Parliament of the Commonwealth the matter of air transport for a period terminable as provided by this Act to the intent that if it is beyond the legislative power of the State to make the reference of that matter so terminable that matter shall be deemed to be not referred to the Parliament of the Commonwealth; and so that after this Act, by virtue of a proclamation under section 3, ceases to be in force, no law made by the Parliament of the Commonwealth with respect to the matter of air transport shall continue to have any force or effect by virtue of this Act or the reference made by this Act.
