preparing it. Section 5(c) and (d) of the Act are not mentioned as they contain mandatory

amendments be incorporated, whether of punctuation, numbering or another kind. Further
details of the use of any discretionary editorial power noted in the table can be obtained by
contacting the Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel by telephone on 3237
0466 or email legislation.queries@oqpc.qld.gov.au.
From 29 January 2013, all Queensland reprints are dated and authorised by the
Parliamentary Counsel. The previous numbering system and distinctions between printed
and electronic reprints is not continued with the relevant details for historical reprints
included in this table.
