RULE Section 3 - Simplified outline of this Act PROVIDES
this Act deals with foreign arrangements AND
these are arrangements between particular kinds of State and Territory
    entities and particular kinds of foreign entities AND
the kinds of State and Territory entities that are covered by this Act
    are the States and Territories themselves, their governments, Departments
    and agencies, as well as some other entities AND
each of these entities is a "State/Territory entity" AND
the kinds of foreign entities that are covered by this Act are foreign
    countries and the national governments, Departments and agencies of foreign
    countries; provinces, states or other political subdivisions of foreign
    countries and their corresponding governments, Departments and agencies;
    and some other entities AND
each of these entities is a "foreign entity" AND
a State/Territory entity is required to notify the Minister if the entity
    proposes to enter, or enters, a foreign arrangement AND
there are additional requirements in Part 2 that apply just to core foreign
    arrangements AND
core foreign arrangements are arrangements between a core State/Territory
    entity and a core foreign entity AND
generally, these are principal State/Territory entities and foreign
    entities AND
in some cases, additional requirements might apply to non-core foreign
    arrangements AND
this depends on whether the Minister decides to make a declaration in relation
    to those arrangements AND certain conditions need to be satisfied before
    the Minister can make the declaration AND
Part 3 deals with these declarations AND
the Minister may make a declaration that a foreign arrangement (whether or not
    a core foreign arrangement) is invalid and unenforceable, required to be
    varied or terminated, or not in operation (depending on the nature of the
    arrangement) AND
certain conditions need to be satisfied before the Minister can make the
    declaration AND
Part 4 deals with these declarations AND
this Act also applies in a more limited way to subsidiary arrangements of
    foreign arrangements AND
a subsidiary arrangement is an arrangement that is entered under the auspices
    of a foreign arrangement but is not itself a foreign arrangement AND
the Minister may make a declaration that a subsidiary arrangement is invalid
    and unenforceable, required to be varied or terminated, or not in operation
    (depending on the nature of the arrangement) AND
Part 4 deals with these declarations for subsidiary arrangements AND
Generally, this Act applies to variations of arrangements in the same way as
    it applies to arrangements. For example, a State/Territory entity will be
    required to give a notice of a proposal to vary a foreign arrangement in
    the same way as it is required to give a notice of a proposal to enter a
    foreign arrangement AND
a State/Territory entity that is party to a foreign arrangement that is in
    operation on the commencement day, or which comes into operation before
    the day on which Part 2 commences, must notify the Minister about the
    arrangement AND
Schedule 1 deals with these notification requirements
