Note The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Act 2012 (Cwlth) (the Commonwealth Act) applies greenhouse and energy minimum standards (GEMS) in association with the supply and commercial use of products that use energy, or affect the energy used by another product. These standards are provided for by requirements in GEMS determinations. Section 8A only operates if a regulation is made for it, and s 8A and the regulation are consistent with the Commonwealth Act and able to operate concurrently with it (see Self-Government Act, s 28 and Commonwealth Act, s 9).
