1 The whole of the Act

Repeal the Act.

2 Continued application of repealed Act

(1) Despite its repeal, the repealed Act continues to apply to: (a) a claimant whose claim for a grant under that Act had not yet been finalised immediately before 1 July 1997; and Note: For claim not being finalised see subitem (3). (b) a person that would, but for the repeal of that Act, have been permitted by Austrade to submit a claim in respect of a claim period under subsection 13(2B) of that Act; and (c) a person to whom a grant was payable under the repealed Act immediately before 1 July 1997; and (d) a person that was, immediately before 1 July 1997, indebted to Austrade under section 39A or 40 of that Act; and (e) a person that was, immediately before 1 July 1997, liable to be prosecuted, or against whom a prosecution was at that time pending, for an offence against that Act. (2) In so far as it applies to a person because of subitem (1), the repealed Act has effect as if the definition of grant year in subsection 3(1) of that Act did not include: (a) the year commencing on 1 July 1996; or (b) a subsequent year. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), a claim for a grant under the repealed Act is taken not to be finalised so long as: (a) Austrade has not made a determination under section 12 of that Act whether the claimant is entitled to a grant; or (b) such a determination by Austrade in respect of the claimant, or a decision of a court affecting that determination, may still be, or is, subject to a review by, or an appeal to, another court.
