(2) The Governor may, as part of a regulation made under subsection (1), make any additional provisions (including so as to modify the terms of an amendment that has been made to the Co-operatives National Law by the Parliament of New South Wales or to provide for related or transitional matters) considered by the Governor to be necessary to ensure that the amendment to the Co-operatives National Law has proper effect in South Australia. (3) A regulation made under this section may, if the regulation so provides, take effect from the day of the commencement of an amendment to the Co-operatives National Law made by the Parliament of New South Wales (including a day that is earlier than the day of the regulation's publication in the Gazette). 6—Application of Co-operatives National Regulations (1) The Co-operatives National Regulations, as in force from time to time— (a) apply as National Regulations in force for the purposes of the Co-operatives National Law (South Australia), subject to modifications by the local regulations; and (b) as so applying may be referred to as the Co-operatives National Regulations (South Australia).
