that jurisdiction for the purposes of the Corporations Law of that

Where a provision of this Law refers to a
Minister, using the expression the Minister without specifying which
Minister is referred to, the expression means:

administer the Corporations Act 1989—any one of those Ministers;
or

(b)
otherwise—the Minister for the time being administering that
Act.

Where this Law refers to a Minister,
specifying the Minister merely by reference to the fact that the Minister
administers a specified Act, or a specified provision of an Act, it refers to:

being, different Ministers administer the specified Act or provision in
respect of different matters:

more Ministers administer the specified Act or provision in respect of the
relevant matter—any one of those Ministers; or

in respect of the relevant matter—that Minister; or

permits anything to be done by or in relation to any one of those Ministers;
