For soldiers and canteen staff, this meant the old operating manuals no longer had legal force — presumably replaced by a single, clearer set of rules governing how canteens operate."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australian-military-canteens-service-regulations-and-the-military-canteens-service-regulations-repea","history":"/api/acts/australian-military-canteens-service-regulations-and-the-military-canteens-service-regulations-repea/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australian-military-canteens-service-regulations-and-the-military-canteens-service-regulations-repea/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australian-military-canteens-service-regulations-and-the-military-canteens-service-regulations-repea/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australian-military-canteens-service-regulations-and-the-military-canteens-service-regulations-repea/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australian-military-canteens-service-regulations-and-the-military-canteens-service-regulations-repea/documents"}}
