36. (1) Subject to this section, a licence, Treaty endorsement or entry
granted or made under this Act otherwise than by virtue of this section does
not authorize the doing of any act or thing in or in relation to a Protected
Zone Joint Authority fishery.

(2) In relation to a Protected Zone Joint Authority fishery that is to be
managed in accordance with the law of the Commonwealth, the powers of the
Minister under the provisions of Part IV are exercisable under those
provisions by the Protected Zone Joint Authority as if references to the
Minister in those provisions were references to the Protected Zone Joint
Authority.

(3) A licence or Treaty endorsement granted under this Act by the Protected
Zone Joint Authority shall contain such conditions or limitations as will
ensure that it applies only in relation to a Protected Zone Joint Authority
fishery or Protected Zone Joint Authority fisheries.

(4) The Protected Zone Joint Authority may make an entry in a licence or
Treaty endorsement granted under this Act otherwise than by virtue of this
section so as to extend the operation of the licence or endorsement, as the
case may be, to matters to which the licensing powers of the Protected Zone
Joint Authority under this Act are applicable and, where such an entry is
made-

   (a)  the entry ceases to have effect if the licence or endorsement, as the
        case may be, ceases to have effect; and

   (b)  the Protected Zone Joint Authority may vary, suspend or revoke the
        entry as if it were an entry made by the
        Protected Zone Joint Authority under section 21.

(5) Such fee (if any) as is prescribed is payable in respect of the making of
an entry in a licence under sub-section (4).

(6) This section does not-

   (a)  empower the Protected Zone Joint Authority to grant, to make, or to
        take other action in respect of, a licence or entry in respect of a
        foreign boat; or

   (b)  affect the operation of a licence or entry granted or made by the
        Minister in respect of a foreign boat or the power of the Minister to
        grant, or to take other action in respect of, such a licence or entry,
        as the case may be.
