Government agencies and contractors must now rely on general workplace laws, modern awards, and standard procurement rules rather than these industry-specific guidelines."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/commonwealth-cleaning-services-guidelines-repeal-instrument-2014","history":"/api/acts/commonwealth-cleaning-services-guidelines-repeal-instrument-2014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/commonwealth-cleaning-services-guidelines-repeal-instrument-2014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/commonwealth-cleaning-services-guidelines-repeal-instrument-2014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/commonwealth-cleaning-services-guidelines-repeal-instrument-2014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/commonwealth-cleaning-services-guidelines-repeal-instrument-2014/documents"}}
