Minister's second reading speech—
Legislative Assembly: 28 October 1993
Legislative Council: 1 December 1993
The long title for the Bill for this Act was "A Bill relating to the restructuring of the electricity supply industry, to amend the State Electricity Commission Act 1958, to make consequential amendments to other Acts and for other purposes.".
The Electricity Industry Act 1993 was assented to on 14 December 1993 and came into operation as follows:
Part 1 (sections 1–6), sections 7–10, 13–16, 20–23, 30, Part 5 Division 1 (sections 62, 63), section 76, Part 6 (sections 80–84), section 86, Part 8 (sections 93–97), sections 110, 111, 119, 121 on 14 December 1993: section 2(1); sections 26, 85, 98, 99 on 14 December 1993: Special Gazette (No. 93) 14 December 1993 page 1; rest of Act on 3 January 1994: Special Gazette (No. 97) 23 December 1993 page 1.
The title of this Act was changed from the Electricity Industry Act 1993 to the Electricity Industry (Residual Provisions) Act 1993 by section 3 of the Electricity Industry Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2000, No. 69/2000.
INTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA)
Style changes
Section 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act.
References to ILA s. 39B
Sidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided section or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subsections or subclauses, the original section or clause becomes subsection or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression "(1)" at the beginning of the original section or clause.
Interpretation
As from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects:
• Headings
All headings included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any heading inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. This includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; sections; clauses; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms. See section 36(1A)(2A).
• Examples, diagrams or notes
All examples, diagrams or notes included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Act. See section 36(3A).
• Punctuation
All punctuation included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 forms part of that Act. Any punctuation inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. See section 36(3B).
• Provision numbers
All provision numbers included in an Act form part of that Act, whether inserted in the Act before, on or after 1 January 2001. Provision numbers include section numbers, subsection numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C).
• Location of "legislative items"
A "legislative item" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of an Act is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B.
• Other material
Any explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other
material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of an Act.
See
section 36(3)(3D)(3E).
