960-130(2)    
If 2 or more entities jointly hold interests or rights that give rise to membership of another entity, each of them is a member of the other entity.

960-130(3)    
An entity is not a member of another entity just because the entity holds one or more interests or rights relating to the other entity that are *debt interests. This subsection has effect despite subsections (1) and (2) of this section.

Example:

An entity is not a member of a company as defined in this section merely because it is a member of the company in the ordinary sense of the term because it holds a finance share in the company, if the finance share is a debt interest. However, if the entity holds other shares in the company that are not debt interests, it will be a member because of those other shares.
