  (ii)   is in a position to cast, or control the casting of, more than one - half of the maximum number of votes that might be cast at a general meeting of the first body; or

  (iii)   holds more than one - half of the issued share capital of the first body (excluding any part of that issued share capital that carries no right to participate beyond a specified amount in a distribution of either profits or capital); or

  (b)   the first body is a subsidiary of a subsidiary of the other body.

Note:   Subparagraph   (a)(iii)--although an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation itself does not have shares, the corporation may hold shares in a body corporate that does have shares.
