Despite the repeal of
the 1996 Act —
(a) the
1996 Act Part 10 Division 5 continues to apply in relation to an inquiry that,
immediately before commencement day, had not been completed and reported on to
the Minister under the 1996 Act section 207 until the inquiry is completed and
reported on under that section; and
(b) the
person appointed under the 1996 Act section 207 to conduct an inquiry to which
paragraph (a) applies continues to hold office for the purpose of completing
and reporting on the inquiry; and
(c) the
Minister must ensure that the person to whom paragraph (b) applies receives
such assistance as that person reasonably requires for the purpose of
completing and reporting on the inquiry.
