173: Existing Inspectors deemed to be Inspectors

You could also call this:

"People already inspecting cinemas or videos are now also inspectors of publications"

Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You are someone who was already an Inspector of Cinemas or an Inspector of Video Recording Outlets. If you were an employee of the Department of Internal Affairs, you are now deemed to be an Inspector of Publications under section 103(1). You get this new role when this section starts. You might not be an employee of the Department of Internal Affairs. In this case, you are deemed to be an Inspector of Publications under section 103(2) when this section starts. This happens even if section 103 says something different.
