(3) If an order is in force under subsection (2) (including an order previously varied under this subsection), the Federal Court or a judge of the Federal Court may make an order varying or revoking the first-mentioned order. (4) An order in force under subsection (2) (including an order previously varied under subsection (3)): (a) is subject to any conditions that are specified in the order; and (b) has effect until: (i) the end of any period for the operation of the order that is specified in the order; or (ii) the giving of a decision on the appeal; whichever is earlier.
