The 1921 Regulations were made under wartime emergency powers to control who could enter Australia. By 1956, these rules were obsolete and were being cleaned up as part of post-war legal reforms.\n\n**Why it matters:** This removal helped streamline Australia's immigration laws. The old 1921 rules were no longer needed because Australia had newer immigration legislation (the *Migration Act* was coming into force shortly after). This regulation simply tidies up the statute books by formally ending the 1921 restrictions."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1956l00098","history":"/api/acts/c1956l00098/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1956l00098/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1956l00098/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1956l00098/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1956l00098/documents"}}
