of the taking of a period of leave connected with the birth of the child (whether it is unpaid parental leave or some other kind of leave)—the start date of that leave.

Special rules about the period of leave
 (4) The period of leave is an exception to the rules in section 71 about:
 (a) taking the employee's unpaid parental leave in a single continuous period; and
 (b) when the employee's period of unpaid parental leave must start.
Note: The period of leave is unpaid parental leave and so comes out of the employee's entitlement to 12 months of unpaid parental leave under section 70.
 (5) The employee is not required to comply with section 74 in relation to the period of leave.
