doubt, subclause (3) does not affect the validity of the detention of a detainee before the first time (the recognition time) an officer or detention officer knew or reasonably believed that the detainee was:
 (a) a citizen of Papua New Guinea; or
 (b) a person who is usually resident in Papua New Guinea and whose continued presence there is not subject to a limitation as to time imposed by law.
This has effect even if the recognition time is more than 72 hours after the detention began.
Note: If the recognition time was more than 72 hours after the detention began, the effect of subclause (3) applying subclause (2) is to require the release of the detainee at the recognition time. However, subclause (3) does not affect the validity of detention in the period starting 72 hours after the detention began and ending at the recognition time.
