(4) The industrial commission or industrial magistrate—
(a) must consider the application in the same way as it would consider an application made to it under the dismissal provisions; and
(b) may make the same kinds of orders in relation to the application as it could make if the application were an application under the dismissal provisions.
(5) For this section, a reference in the dismissal provisions to—
(a) employment is taken to be a reference to employment of a child by a constitutional corporation; or
(b) an employer is taken to be a reference to an employer who is a constitutional corporation; or
(c) an employee is taken to be a reference to a child who is employed by a constitutional corporation; or
(d) a proceeding under chapter 3 is taken to be a reference to a proceeding under chapter 3 as applied by this section.
