2  Object and effect of Schedule etc.
(1) The main object of this Schedule is to maintain the continuity of discipline in the Defence Force.
(2) The provisions of this Schedule that declare people to have particular rights or liabilities have effect for Defence Force service purposes only.
(3) If a provision of this Schedule:
 (a) would, apart from this subitem, have an application (an invalid application) in relation to:
 (i) one or more particular persons, things, matters, places, circumstances or cases; or
 (ii) one or more classes (however defined or determined) of persons, things, matters, places, circumstances or cases;
  because of which the provision exceeds the Commonwealth's legislative power; and
 (b) also has at least one application (a valid application) in relation to:
 (i) one or more particular persons, things, matters, places, circumstances or cases; or
 (ii) one or more classes (however defined or determined) of persons, things, matters, places, circumstances or cases;
  that, if it were the provision's only application, would be within the Commonwealth's legislative power;
it is the Parliament's intention that the provision is not to have the invalid application, but is to have every valid application.
