(2) Uniform state cooperative companies legislation based on “core consistent provisions” was discussed at meetings of the Ministerial Council for Corporations on 24 October 1996 and 15 April 1999. (3) As States, ACT and NT had previously agreed to “core consistent provisions” legislation for co-operatives, at those meetings MINCO agreed to amendments to the Corporations Law (which has subsequently become the Corporations Act 2001 (C’lth)) to provide for an appropriate “roll back” of that C’lth Law to achieve a seamless interface between the Corporations Law and the regulation of co-operatives.
