(i)    proposed law of any kind to originate in the vacant component; or

(ii)    any resolution to be made or any other privilege or immunity exercised by the vacant component; or

(b)    the law limits the power of any deliberative component not vacant in the whole:

(i)    to introduce or amend proposed law that may only be introduced or amended by the vacant component; or

(ii)    to make a resolution that may only be made by the vacant component.

(2)    If each deliberative component is vacant in the whole:

(a)    the legislature consists solely of the enacting component;

(b)    the enacting component acting on the advice of the directors may enact laws, including by special resolution, under this paragraph;

(c)    a reference to the enacting component acting on the advice of the body vested with giving advice in Government shall be a reference to the enacting component acting on the advice of the directors;

(d)    a law requiring any resolution to be made or any privilege or immunity to be exercised by a body or bodies declared as deliberative components of the legislature, or any part thereof, as a precondition for any action by or for the Executive Government of Urabba Parks or any entity or body shall be of no effect;

(e)    if by law or convention advice is to be tendered or put by directors being the body of advisors in Government, or by any director being a member of such body, shall be taken to be tendered by a director who is the enacting component or is appointed by the enacting component.
