FUEL TAX ACT 2006 (NO. 72, 2006) - SECT 105.10

             (1)  A Guide consists of:

                     (a)  sections under a heading indicating that what follows is a Guide to a particular Subdivision, Division etc.; or

                     (b)  a Subdivision, Division or Part that is identified as a Guide by a provision in the Subdivision, Division or Part.

             (2)  * Guides form part of this Act, but they are kept separate from the operative provisions. In interpreting an operative provision, a Guide may only be considered:

                     (a)  in determining the purpose or object underlying the provision; or

                     (b)  to confirm that the provision’s meaning is the ordinary meaning conveyed by its text, taking into account its context in the Act and the purpose or object underlying the provision; or

                     (c)  in determining the provision’s meaning if the provision is ambiguous or obscure; or

                     (d)  in determining the provision’s meaning if the ordinary meaning conveyed by its text, taking into account its context in the Act and the purpose or object underlying the provision, leads to a result that is manifestly absurd or is unreasonable.
