 (a) a Commonwealth officer; or
 (b) a Commonwealth authority.

 (2) Subsection (1) does not authorise the conferral of a function or power, or the imposition of a duty, by a corresponding State law to the extent to which:

 (b) the authorisation would otherwise exceed the legislative power of the Commonwealth.

 (3) Subsection (1) does not extend to a function, power or duty of a kind specified in regulations made for the purposes of this subsection.

 (4) This Act is not intended to exclude or limit the operation of a corresponding State law that confers any functions or powers, or imposes any duties, on a Commonwealth officer or Commonwealth authority to the extent to which that law:
 (a) is consistent with subsections (1) to (3); and
 (b) is capable of operating concurrently with this Act.
