These likely included:\n*   Exemptions from certain taxes and duties\n*   Immunity from being sued in Australian courts\n*   Protection of their premises and documents from search or seizure (inviolability)\n\nThis 1985 instrument **repeals** (cancels) those earlier rules. Malaysian education offices no longer enjoy these diplomatic-style immunities and are now treated like ordinary foreign organisations operating in Australia.\n\nThis is essentially a housekeeping measure that ends consular-style protections for these specific offices."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/consular-privileges-and-immunities-malaysian-education-offices-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/consular-privileges-and-immunities-malaysian-education-offices-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/consular-privileges-and-immunities-malaysian-education-offices-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/consular-privileges-and-immunities-malaysian-education-offices-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/consular-privileges-and-immunities-malaysian-education-offices-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/consular-privileges-and-immunities-malaysian-education-offices-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
