345  General transitional provision
If, under an enactment amended by this Schedule to include a reference to the Commonwealth Minister, the exercise of a power, or the performance of the function or duty, by the Commonwealth Minister at or after the interim transition time is affected by the doing of anything before that time, the enactment has effect as if anything that was done by or in relation to a Minister or the Administrator before that time had been done by or in relation to the Commonwealth Minister.
Note: For example, if:
(a) the enactment used to provide that the Minister may take an action if the Minister has carried out public consultation about the proposed action; and
(b) the enactment is amended to provide that the Commonwealth Minister may take the action if the Commonwealth Minister has carried out public consultation; and
(c) the Minister carried out public consultation before the interim transition time but did not take the action before that time;
 the Commonwealth Minister may take the action after that time as if the Commonwealth Minister had carried out the public consultation.
