2  Validating airport investigations
(1) This item applies:
 (a) in relation to a thing done during the relevant period in relation to an investigation by a member of the Australian Federal Police, or a special member, in or in relation to a Commonwealth place; and
 (b) to the extent that the doing of the thing would, apart from this item, be invalid or ineffective because the Commonwealth place was not a designated State airport;
if, on the day after the relevant period, the Commonwealth place was a designated State airport.
(2) The thing done is as valid and effective, and is taken always to have been as valid and effective, as it would have been had the Commonwealth place been a designated State airport for the purposes of the Commonwealth Places (Application of Laws) Act 1970 during the relevant period.
Note: This means relevant Crimes Act provisions validly apply in relation to the thing done (see subsection 5(3A) of the Commonwealth Places (Application of Laws) Act 1970).
(3) However, this item does not affect rights or liabilities arising between parties to proceedings heard and finally determined by a court on or before the commencement of this Schedule, to the extent that those rights or liabilities arose from, or were affected by, a thing done as described in subitem (1).
