Thank you for the answer. I will be proceeding with this amendment, because that answer does not provide sufficient guarantee that declarations made under sections 12 and 13 will not be subject to the sunset clause. I therefore move Greens amendment (2) on sheet 4860:

(2)   Schedule 3, page 6 (after line 22), at the end of the Schedule, add:

Legislative Instruments Act 2003

1A

Instruments made under section 10 or section 12 of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984.

This amendment would amend section 54, which provides that instruments made under sections 10 and 12 of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act be exempt from the sunset clause.
