CZ 7: Primary producer co-operative companies: 1987–88 income year
or “Rules for primary producer co-ops selling assets or paying shareholders after 1987-88 deductions”
You could also call this:

“Rules for old petroleum mining deals made before 16 December 1991”

If you made a farm-out arrangement for petroleum mining before 16 December 1991, any extra money spent on this arrangement doesn’t count as income for the person who transferred the arrangement. This is called ‘excluded income’.

The terms ‘excess expenditure’, ‘farm-out arrangement’, and ‘transferor’ mean the same things they did in section 214D of the old Income Tax Act 1976. This old act was changed by section 15 of the Income Tax Amendment Act (No 5) 1992.
