(2) All courts, judges and persons acting judicially shall take judicial notice of the seal of the commission affixed to a document and shall presume that it was duly affixed. 5 Authorisation of commission (1) The commission is hereby authorised, subject to this Act, to establish, maintain and operate or to provide for the establishment, maintenance and operation of-- (a) shipping services for the carriage of goods between places in the State; and (b) services for the carriage of goods by land to the extent that such carriage is incident to the carriage of goods by sea pursuant to this section. (2) The authority conferred on the commission by subsection (1) shall continue until a date fixed pursuant to section 6 as the date on which this Act shall cease to be in force. 6 Proclamation of date (1) The Governor may by proclamation fix a date, being not earlier than 12 months after the publication of the proclamation in the gazette, on which this Act shall cease to be in force and this Act shall cease to be in force on the date so fixed. (2) A proclamation made pursuant to this section shall be published in the gazette. 7 Limitation of commission's authority (1) The authority conferred on the commission by section 5 does not extend to-- (a) the establishment of any shipping service unless the Minister has approved in writing of the establishment and operation of such service and the Minister's approval is still in force; or (b) the continuation of the operation of any shipping service established with the approval of the Minister for more than 6 months after the Minister has notified the Minister administering the Commonwealth Act in writing that the Minister has withdrawn the Minister's approval of the operation of such service. (2) The authority conferred on the commission by section 5 does not extend to the establishment, maintenance or operation of any shipping service in compliance with a direction of the Minister under the Commonwealth Act unless the provisions of this Act are complied with in respect thereof. 8 Powers and obligations of commission (1) Subject to this Act, in the exercise of authority conferred on it by section 5 the commission may exercise all or any of the powers conferred on it by section 16 (other than subsection (2A)) of the Commonwealth Act and shall be subject to all of the obligations and restrictions imposed on it by that section with respect to the performance by the commission of its functions under that Act.
