   (a)  section 49 of that Act and any regulations in force under that Act for

        promotion but-

        (i)    references in that section to the vacant position shall be

               references to the Managing Director; and

   (b)  for the purposes of any appeal against the promotion, section 50 of
        that Act continues to apply but, for the purposes of that section as
        so continuing to apply, the reference in sub-paragraph (2) (b) (i) of
        that section to the Commission shall be construed as a reference to
        the Managing Director and references in that section to the vacant
        position shall be construed as references to that position as
        continued in existence in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation
        Service.
