(1B) Any prohibition or restriction under subsection 1A of this section may be absolute or conditional, and the Proclamation or Order in Council may authorise the Minister of Internal Affairs or the Secretary to grant exemptions from the prohibition or restriction.

(1C) Every person commits an offence against this Act who does any act that is for the time being prohibited by a Proclamation or Order in Council under subsection one A of this section or fails to comply in any respect with any condition imposed in any such Proclamation or Order in Council.

(3) While any Proclamation or Order in Council under subsection one of this section remains in force, it shall not be lawful for any person, except as provided in subsection two or subsection two A of this section or in subsection two of section five of this Act or pursuant to an authority granted under section fifty-three or section fifty-four of this Act, to hunt or kill for any purpose, or molest, capture, disturb, harry, or worry any wildlife in the wildlife refuge, or to take, destroy, or disturb the nests, eggs, or spawn of any such wildlife, or for any person to bring onto the wildlife refuge or
