For most people, this is historical cleanup with no practical day-to-day impact.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nIt completes the legal dismantling of ATSIC by removing outdated subordinate legislation. The regulation has a procedural quirk: it **self-repeals at the end of its first day** (section 3(2)), meaning it exists only briefly to sweep away the old rules before disappearing itself."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-commission-repeal-regulation-2012","history":"/api/acts/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-commission-repeal-regulation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-commission-repeal-regulation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-commission-repeal-regulation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-commission-repeal-regulation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-commission-repeal-regulation-2012/documents"}}
