74 Application of Division (1) This Division applies in relation to the following destroyed livestock: (a) buffalo; (b) livestock that reacted to a test under section 53(1)(a)(iv); (c) unmustered livestock; (d) livestock to which a declaration under subsection (2) applies. (2) If the Minister considers it necessary, the Minister may, by Gazette notice, declare that this Division applies in relation to particular livestock destroyed under a control program for an emergency disease. Note for subsection (2) The intention is that most determinations of compensation for livestock destroyed under such a control program will be made under Division 4. However, it may be necessary for the Minister to make this declaration in certain situations, for example if there are insufficient people with the necessary qualifications to constitute a valuation panel or if the Minister is satisfied the fees or commissions payable to the members of a valuation panel are likely to exceed the amount of compensation payable for the destroyed livestock.
