Issue:

Mass repeal of redundant instruments under the Legislative Instruments Act 2003

The 11 instruments listed above repeal 156, 270, 774, 287, 336, 118, 1,103, 220, 866, 61, 1192, 1168 and 3327 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.
