Meaning of minimum annual rate of child support

 (4) In this Act, the minimum annual rate of child support in respect of a child support period is worked out using the following formula:
where:

index number for a quarter is the All Groups Consumer Price Index number that is the weighted average of the 8 capital cities and is published by the Australian Statistician in respect of that quarter.

 (5) Subject to subsection (6), if at any time (whether before or after the commencement of this subsection), the Australian Statistician publishes an index number for a quarter in substitution for an index number previously published by the Australian Statistician for that quarter, the publication of the later index number is to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (4).

 (6) If at any time the Australian Statistician changes the reference base for the Consumer Price Index, regard is to be had, for the purposes of applying subsection (4) after the change takes place, only to index numbers published in terms of the new reference base.
