“(3.) For the purpose of the application of the Army Act to the Military Forces—

(a) sub-sections (1.) and (2.) of section 130 of that Act shall be read as if there were substituted for the words ‘His Majesty’ (wherever occurring) in those sub-sections the words ‘the Governor-General’; and

(b) there shall be substituted for sub-section (3.) of section 130 of that Act the following sub-sections:—

‘(3.) Where a person is kept in custody under either of the last two preceding sub-sections, the Governor-General may, by warrant under his hand, order that the person be detained in safe custody in such place, and in accordance with such directions (if any), as the Governor-General specifies in the warrant and the Governor-General may subsequently, from time to time, order, by further warrant under his hand, that the person be detained in safe custody in such other place, and in accordance with such directions (if any), as the Governor-General specifies in the further warrant.

‘(3c.)

Where the apprehension of a person is ordered under the last preceding sub-section, the person may be arrested without warrant by a member of the police force of a State or Territory or a member of the Permanent Military Forces and, upon being arrested, shall be handed over to the custody of the person who ordered the apprehension.

‘(3e.) Where a person whose apprehension was ordered under sub-section (3c.) of this section is in the custody of the person who ordered his apprehension, the Governor-General may, by warrant under his hand, order that the person be detained in safe custody in such place, and in accordance with such directions (if any), as the Governor-General specifies in the warrant and the Governor-General may subsequently, from time to time, order, by further warrant under his hand, that the person be detained in safe custody in such other place, and in accordance with such directions (if any), as the Governor-General specifies in the further warrant.

‘(3f.) The powers conferred by sub-section (3a.) of this section may be exercised in relation to a person who is detained by virtue of either of the last two preceding sub-sections as if he were a person detained by virtue of a warrant under sub-section (3.) of this section.’.”.
