83 Certificate given by analyst on or after commencement day relating to alleged offence against Quarantine Act
(1) This item applies if an analyst gives a certificate on or after the commencement day in respect of a matter or thing in relation to which an offence against the Quarantine Act (as it applied of its own force or as it continues to apply because of this Act) is or was alleged to have been committed.
(2) Despite the repeal of the Quarantine Act by this Act, subsections 86DA(2) to (6) of that Act (as modified by subitem (3)) continue to apply on and after the commencement day for the purposes of any proceeding in relation to the offence.
(3) Subsections 86DA(2) to (6) of the Quarantine Act apply under subitem (2) as if:
(a) a reference to an analyst were a reference to an analyst appointed under subsection 637(1) of the Biosecurity Act; and
(b) subsection (2) were amended by omitting “a form approved by a Director of Quarantine” and substituting “a form approved by the Director of Biosecurity (within the meaning of the Biosecurity Act 2015)”; and
(c) paragraph (2)(a) were amended by omitting “subsection (1)” and substituting “subsection 637(1) of the Biosecurity Act 2015”.
