(a) to enable it to comply with this Act; or
(b) to remove a ground of objection taken by an objector under the regulations or by the FWC; or

(3) Rules of an association as altered in accordance with leave granted under subsection (1) are binding on the members of the association:
(a) in spite of anything in the other rules of the association; and
(b) subject to any further alterations lawfully made.
