(2) The Commission must not vary the scope of the licence unless it has notified the Minister, in writing, of:

(a) the extent to which the Commonwealth authority would be authorised to accept liability under the Act in relation to injury, loss, damage or death that has occurred prior to the commencement of the licence; and

(b) the estimated amount of outstanding tail liability that would be assumed by the Commonwealth authority

under the requested variation of licence.
