19. After section 63 of the Principal Act the following section is inserted:
Effect of revocation after 30 June 1993

"63A.(1) If a person who made an election under section 60 for a child support
year beginning after 30 June 1993 revokes the election under section 62 and
substitutes another election, the person's child support income amount in
relation to the days in the child support year is to be determined in
accordance with regulations made for the purposes of this section.

"(2) Without limiting the power to make regulations for the purposes of
subsection (1), the regulations may provide for determining different amounts
before and after a date in the child support year determined in accordance
with the regulations.

"(3) Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to any day in the child support
year in relation to which an income amount order made after the making, but
before the revocation, of the election applies in relation to the person.

"(4) The Registrar must immediately take such action as is necessary to give
effect to subsection (1) in relation to any administrative assessment that has
been made in relation to the person and any part of the child support year
(whether by amending the assessment or otherwise).

"(5) Subject to any further election made under section 60, in subsequently
making any administrative assessment in relation to the person and the child
support year, the Registrar must act in accordance with subsection (1).

"(6) This section does not prevent:

   (a)  a court making any order under Division 4 of Part 7 (Orders for
        departure from administrative assessment in special circumstances); or

   (b)  the making, and acceptance by the Registrar, of a child support
        agreement that includes provisions that have effect, for the purposes
        of this Part, as if they were such an order made by consent.".
