(b)units decimally related to those units and for the time being so approved;

(c)such other units as are declared from time to time pursuant to the Metric Conversion Act 1970 of the Commonwealth, as amended from time to time, or pursuant to any Act of the Commonwealth in substitution for that Act, to be within the metric system;

statutory instrument means — 

(a)any proclamation or Order in Council;

(2)Each amendment effected by subsection (1) of this section and a Schedule to this Act shall take effect on such day as is fixed by the Minister administering the Act so amended by notice published in the Government Gazette, being a day not earlier than the day on which the notice is so published.

(3)Every Act referred to in the First Schedule to this Act may be cited showing the figures representing the year of its passing followed by the passage “ — 1972”.

(4)Every Act referred to in the Second and Third Schedule to this Act may be cited showing the figures representing the year of its passing followed by the passage “ — 1973”.

(5)Every Act referred to in the Fourth Schedule to this Act may be cited showing the figures representing the year of its passing followed by the passage “ — 1975”.

[Section 5 amended by No. 19 of 1973 s. 2; No. 83 of 1973 s. 2.]

5.Amendments to Acts may be made by proclamations

(1)Notwithstanding the provisions of any other Act or law, but subject to subsection (2) of this section, the Governor may by proclamation, in any case where he is of opinion that it is necessary or expedient so to do for giving proper effect to the purposes for which an Act was enacted, amend any reference in the Act to a physical quantity that is not expressed in terms of a unit or units in the metric system of measurement by substituting for that reference a reference to a physical quantity expressed in terms of a unit or units in the metric system of measurement.

(2)A proclamation may be so made under subsection (1) of this section as to — 

(a)take effect on such day or days as are specified therein, not being a day or days earlier than the day on which the proclamation is published in the Government Gazette; and

(b)alter the physical quantity in the reference amended by the proclamation, but so that the physical quantity substituted by the proclamation — 

(i)is not less by more than ten per centum than; and

(ii)does not exceed by more than ten per centum,

the physical quantity amended by the proclamation.

(3)The Minister administering an Act affected by a proclamation made under this section shall cause a copy of the proclamation to be laid on the Table of each House of Parliament within the first six sitting days of the House after the publication of the proclamation in the Government Gazette.

(4)If either House of Parliament passes a resolution of which notice has been given within the first fourteen sitting days of that House after the copy of a proclamation made under this section has been laid on the table of that House, that the proclamation be disallowed, the proclamation thereupon ceases to have effect, but the disallowance of the proclamation does not affect or invalidate anything done, or omitted to be done, in good faith before the passing of the resolution.

6.Amendments of statutory instruments

(1)Notwithstanding the provisions of any other Act or law, the Minister administering an Act under which a statutory instrument has been promulgated, made, given or published may, with the approval of the Governor, by notice published in the Government Gazette amend any reference in the statutory instrument to a physical quantity that is not expressed in terms of a unit or units in the metric system of measurement by substituting for that reference a reference to a physical quantity expressed in terms of a unit or units in the metric system of measurement.

(2)The provisions of subsections (2), (3) and (4) of section 5 of this Act apply to a notice published under this section as though it were a proclamation made under section 5 of this Act.
