12  References to Agvet Codes and Agvet Regulations
 (1) The object of this section is to help ensure that the Agvet Code of the participating Territories can operate, in appropriate circumstances, as if that Code, together with the Agvet Code of each State, constituted a single national Agvet Code applying throughout Australia.
 (2) Subject to this section, a reference in an instrument to the Agvet Codes, or to the Agvet Regulations, is taken, for the purposes of the laws of the Commonwealth and of the laws of the participating Territories:
 (a) to be a reference to the Agvet Code, or to the Agvet Regulations, as the case may be, of the participating Territories; and
 (b) to include a separate reference to the Agvet Code, or to the Agvet Regulations, as the case may be, of each State.
 (3) Subsection (2) has effect except so far as the contrary intention appears in the instrument or the context of the reference otherwise requires.
