(2) A certificate issued in relation to a Commonwealth record under section 34 of the Archives Act 1983 (as in force immediately before the commencement of this Schedule) is, by force of this subitem, revoked in relation to the record on and from the time at which the first application for access to the record under the Archives Act 1983 is made, on or after the commencement of this Schedule.
