158 Liability of corporate State or Territory institutions for funding contribution
If:
(a) a State institution or a Territory institution is a body corporate; and
(b) the institution is taken to have agreed to participate in the scheme (see subsection 115(5)); and
(c) the imposition of a liability on the institution to pay funding contribution under section 149 would impermissibly:
(i) impose taxation on the institution; or
(ii) acquire property of the institution otherwise than on just terms;
then section 149 is taken to impose the liability on the relevant State or Territory instead.
