Australian Communications and Media Authority Omnibus Revocation Instrument 2014 (No. 2) [F2014L01373]

Issue:

Mass repeal of redundant instruments under the Legislative Instruments Act 2003

The two instruments listed above repeal 279 legislative instruments and two provisions from two legislative instruments, and 56 legislative instruments, respectively, that are either spent or not otherwise required. They include amending and repealing instruments and commencement instruments that have no further effect, because they have fulfilled their purpose. Mass repeal of such instruments was enabled by amendments to the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 in 2012. The committee therefore draws the attention of the Senate to the mass repeal of redundant legislative instruments.
