Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006

19   Application and transitional

(1) If, immediately before the commencement of this item, a corporation was a registered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation, the amendments of the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (the CATSI Act ) made by this Part do not apply in relation to the corporation until the second anniversary of the day this item commences.

(2) Until that anniversary, a corporation that was, immediately before the commencement of this item, a registered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation does not fail to comply with the requirement in paragraph 66-1(5)(d) of the CATSI Act merely because its constitution is not consistent with the Native Title Act 1993 as amended by Schedule 4 (allowing a registered native title body corporate to bring a compensation application).
