Operation of former section 76 varied (1) The express condition imposed by subsection (1) of section 76 of the principal Act (as in force immediately before the commencement of this Act) upon the appointment or employment of certain persons as officers or servants of the department — (a) shall, subject to paragraph (b), be taken not to have required such a person to be a member of or contributor to the fund mentioned in that subsection for the period commencing on the transfer date and ending immediately before the commencement of this Act but to have required any such person to be a member of the new fund in accordance with the rules of that fund for that period; (b) shall not be taken to have required any such person to be a member of or contributor to the fund mentioned in that subsection, or any other fund, on or after the transfer date, if the person was not, immediately before that date, already required by such a condition to be a member of or contributor to the fund mentioned in that subsection, and, for the purpose of giving effect to paragraph (a), that section shall be construed as if — (c) a reference in that section to the fund mentioned in that subsection had been a reference to the new fund; (d) a reference in that section to the by‑laws relating to the fund mentioned in that subsection had been a reference to the rules of the new fund; and (e) a reference in that section to the committee of management of the fund mentioned in that subsection had been a reference to the company. (2) In this section, unless the contrary intention appears — the transfer date means 2 February 1990, being the date of the publication in the *Gazette* of the orders made under section 34 of the *Associations Incorporation Act 1987* transferring to the company the undertakings of Western Australian Government Railways Employees’ Endowment Fund Incorporated and Western Australian Government Railways Employees’ Provident Fund Incorporated; and expressions used in section 76 of the principal Act (as substituted by section 6 of this Act) that are used in this section have the same respective meanings as they have in that section. 7 The *Government Railways Amendment Act 1990* s. 15 is a transitional provision that is of no further effect. 8 The *Rail Safety Act 1998* Sch. 3 cl. 1(7) reads as follows: (7) Section 66A(3) continues to apply in respect of any certificate given under section 66A(2) before the repeal of those provisions. 9 Now known as the *Railways (Access) Act 1998*. 10 The *Public Transport Authority Act 2003* Pt. 7 Div. 2, 5 and 6 reads as follows: Part 7 — Transitional matters Division 2 — Transition from former *Government Railways Act 1904* bodies to Authority 79.

Authority is successor of former bodies At the commencement time, the body corporate under the name “Minister for Western Australian Government Railways” and the body corporate under the name “The Western Australian Government Railways Commission” are each succeeded by the Authority. 81. Transitional provisions (1) At the commencement time — (a) every asset is, by operation of this section, assigned to the Authority; (b) every liability is, by operation of this section, assigned to and becomes a liability of the Authority; and (c) the Authority is, by operation of this section, substituted for a former body as a party to any proceedings. (2) Any agreement or instrument has effect, by operation of this section, as if a reference to the Authority were, at the commencement time, substituted for a reference to the former body in the agreement or instrument, unless in the context it would be inappropriate to make the substitution. (3) Any proceedings or remedy that might have been commenced by, or available against or to, a former body in relation to an asset or liability assigned by subsection (1) may be commenced by, or are available against or to, the Authority. (4) Anything relating to an asset or liability assigned by subsection (1) that was done or omitted to be done by, to, or in respect of, a former body before the assignment and is of any effect is to be taken to have been done or omitted by, to, or in respect of, the Authority. (5) Crown land that, immediately before the commencement time, was vested in the Minister for Western Australian Government Railways by the *Government Railways Act 1904* section 4(1) is to be regarded as if it had, at that time — (a) been reserved under the *Land Administration Act 1997* section 41 for the purposes of performing the Authority’s functions under this Act or the *Government Railways Act 1904*; and (b) under the *Land Administration Act 1997* section 46, been placed under the care, control, and management of the Authority for those purposes. (6) Government railways, other than Crown land, that, immediately before the commencement time, were vested in the Minister for Western Australian Government Railways by the *Government Railways Act 1904* section 4(1) become at that time the property of the Authority. (7) The reference in subsection (6) to Government railways other than Crown land includes a reference to anything that is on Crown land. (8) Subsections (5) and (6) do not limit the assignment by subsection (1) to the Authority of any asset belonging immediately before the commencement time to a former body. 82. Completion of necessary transactions (1) If, to any extent, section 81 cannot have effect as described in this Division (whether because a matter is governed otherwise than by the law of the State, or for any other reason), the relevant parties are each to take all practicable steps for the purpose of securing that the effect sought to be achieved by this Division is achieved as soon as possible after the commencement time. (2) Despite the repeals effected by sections 100 and 103, each of the former bodies is preserved for the purposes of doing things under subsection (1), and the Minister may execute documents for, and otherwise act on behalf of, each of those bodies for the purposes of doing those things. 83. Registration of documents (1) The Authority is to cause to be delivered to each relevant official a schedule, in a form acceptable to the relevant official, of the information that the relevant official needs in order to register changes effected by this Division.

By‑laws under *Government Railways Act 1904* section 23 continue By‑laws that, immediately before the commencement time, are in force under the *Government Railways Act 1904* section 23 continue under that section as if they had been made by the Authority. 85. References in written laws to former bodies (1) A reference in a written law in force immediately before the commencement time to a former body is to be construed, after that time, as a reference to the Authority unless in the context it would be inappropriate to do so. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to anything for which this Act has made other provision. Division 5 — State tax implications of transitions 92. Exemption from State tax (1) In this section — State tax includes stamp duty chargeable under the *Stamp Act 1921* and any other tax, duty, fee, levy or charge, under a law of the State. (2) State tax is not payable in relation to — (a) anything that occurs by operation of this Part; or (b) anything done (including a transaction entered into or an instrument or document of any kind made, executed, lodged or given) under this Part, or to give effect to this Part, or for a purpose connected with or arising out of, giving effect to this Part. Division 6 — Other provisions 93. Certain contributions by former body suffice An obligation imposed by the *Agriculture Protection Board Act 1950* section 11 on the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia to contribute in respect of a year is satisfied to the extent that The Western Australian Government Railways Commission had, before section 140 commenced, already made a contribution in respect of that year under that section. 94.
