The scrapped rules had placed controls on:\n\n* **Foreign troops and warship crews landing** on Australian territory\n* **Searchlights being used** aboard foreign warships\n* **Shoreline surveying** conducted by boats from foreign ships\n\nRather than creating new offences or powers, this document strips away the previous 1906 restrictions.
