subsection 126(1)


Explanation:
If you look at the act, these are referred to as subsections. 126 is a section, 126(1) is a subsection.

The ALOP for Australia must be applied in conducting a BIRA (see subsection 167(2)) or a risk assessment for the purpose of deciding whether particular goods, or a particular class of goods, can be brought or imported into Australian territory (see subsections 173(4), 174(3), 179(3) and 182(4)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you very much, but I think "section" is enough, as in Australian rule https://bond.libguides.com/aglc/legislative-materials


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tina Vonhof (X): The lowercase 's' also indicates that it's subsection.
1 hr
agree  SafeTex: The peoblem is partly that the abbreviation for subsection is "subs" or "subsec" even "ss"

According to the Australian Guide to Legal Citation style, "s" stands for section. (It's the same in New Zealand, and no full stop is necessary.)
