4  Application of amendments

  The amendment made by item 7 of Schedule 1 applies to:
 (a) the institution of proceedings on or after the day on which this Act receives the Royal Assent; and
 (b) the continuation, after the day on which this Act receives the Royal Assent, of proceedings that were instituted before that day, being proceedings instituted after the excision time for the excised offshore place concerned.

Example: Proceedings of the kind mentioned in section 494AA of the Migration Act are instituted, before the day on which this Act receives the Royal Assent, in relation to a person who became an offshore entry person by entering Australia at Christmas Island. Those proceedings cannot be continued after the day on which this Act receives the Royal Assent.
