(2) The following sections of the Racing and Gambling Legislation Amendment and Repeal Act 2003 (RAGLAR Act) have not been proclaimed: s. 32-52 s. 78 s. 97 s. 155-162 s. 75 s. 79 s. 99-131 s. 165-178 s. 76(a) s. 81(5) s. 132(1)(b) s. 180(1)(c) s. 76(c) s. 81(6) s. 132(3) s. 180(2) s. 76(h) s. 85-94 s. 132(4) s. 207(1)(b) s. 77(2) s. 96 s. 133-150 In addition, the Racing and Wagering Western Austtralian Tax Act 2003 has not yet been proclaimed. The establishment of Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) is designed to occur in two stages. Those provisions relating to RWWA’s role as racing industry controlling authority were implemented on 1 August 2003. When the RWWA Board has determined its structures and systems relating to its racing obligations, the provisions relating to its gambling function (off-course TAB betting) will be proclaimed to come into effect. As explained in the second reading speech when introducing the RWWA legislative package to the Legislative Council on 9 May 2003, the flexible commencement provisions are needed to ensure that the continuity of wagering and racing operations is not compromised.
