(2) Subsection (1) does not authorise the conferral of a function or power, or the imposition of a duty, by a corresponding State law to the extent to which: (a) the conferral or imposition, or the authorisation, would contravene any constitutional doctrines restricting the duties that may be imposed on Commonwealth officers or Commonwealth authorities; or (b) the authorisation would otherwise exceed the legislative power of the Commonwealth. (3) Subsection (1) does not extend to a function, power or duty of a kind specified in regulations made for the purposes of this subsection. (4) This Act is not intended to exclude or limit the operation of a corresponding State law that confers any functions or powers, or imposes any duties, on a Commonwealth officer or Commonwealth authority to the extent to which that law: (a) is consistent with subsections (1) to (3); and (b) is capable of operating concurrently with this Act.
