It ensures the event meets national security standards without needing to create entirely new laws."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument does not change the scope of the AusCheck Act; it designates a particular event as a \"major national event\" under the existing Act (subsection 5A(1)).
