85A Operation of Subdivision
(1) This Subdivision imposes obligations on the Commonwealth in relation to changes in the reliability of water allocations only to the extent to which the National Water Initiative provides that the Commonwealth is responsible for those changes.
(2) To avoid doubt, this Subdivision does not impose obligations on the Commonwealth merely because of:
(a) actions taken by, or on behalf of, the Commonwealth (including purchasing water access rights); or
(b) actions taken under the Basin Plan in the exercise of the rights conferred by water access rights held by, or on behalf, of the Commonwealth.
