(2)  Subsection (1) applies whether the previous sentence was imposed before or after the commencement of this Act. 
(3)  The imposition of the further sentence revokes any non-parole period fixed in respect of the previous sentence. 
(4)  A non-parole period fixed at the time of the imposition of the further sentence—
	(a)	shall be taken to have commenced on the date on which the previous sentence was imposed; and
