23  Transitional—assistance to native title claimants
Despite subsection 183(6) of the new Act, if:
 (a) before the commencement of that subsection, the Attorney‑General authorised the provision of assistance under section 183 of the old Act to a person claiming to hold native title to an area; and
 (b) after the commencement of that subsection, the person applies under that section for the provision of further assistance in respect of the same claim;
section 183 of the new Act has effect in relation to the application as if subsection 183(6) were omitted.
