A BILL
FOR
An Act to provide for the transfer of the undertaking of Challenge
Bank Limited to Westpac Banking Corporation, and for related
purposes
4
Challenge Bank Limited (Transfer of
Undertaking)
Preamble--
Parliament's reasons for enacting this Act are--
1. Challenge Bank Limited ACN 009 230 433 ("Challenge") is a
company incorporated in Western Australia, a company within the meaning
of the Corporations Law and a company limited by shares.
2. Westpac Banking Corporation ARBN 007 457 141("Westpac") is a
body corporate established by an Act of New South Wales.
3. Westpac carries on the business of banking throughout Australia and
elsewhere in the world, while Challenge carries on the business of banking
principally in Western Australia and Victoria but also has assets and
liabilities in other States and in Territories.
4. On 21 December 1995 Westpac became the beneficial owner of the
whole of the issued share capital of Challenge and since then Challenge has
been a wholly owned subsidiary of Westpac.
5. Under the conditions imposed on the authority of Challenge to carry
on banking business in Australia Challenge is required to surrender the
authority.
6. It is necessary and expedient to transfer the banking business of
Challenge to Westpac in Western Australia and, at the same time, to
transfer the assets and liabilities of Challenge in other States and in
Territories to Westpac.
7. On 22 November 1995 the Commonwealth Treasurer consented
under the Banking Act 1959 (Cwlth), section 63, to the amalgamation of the
banking business of Challenge with that of Westpac.
8. It is expedient to enact legislation to provide for the transfer of the
assets and liabilities of Challenge in Queensland to Westpac.
