Instead, it authorises the Council to create those details in separate \"rules\" (a type of subordinate legislation).\n- **Out with the old:** It repeals (cancels) the previous Discipline Statute that existed before 2005.\n- **Continuity:** Any disciplinary rules already in place under the old system remain valid and enforceable as if they were made under this new statute.\n\n**Who it affects:** Primarily ANU students and the University Council, which uses this power to establish codes of conduct, academic integrity policies, and disciplinary procedures.\n\n**Why it matters:** Without this statute, the Council would lack the legal authority to enforce discipline over students. It acts as the foundation for all university disciplinary actions."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/discipline-statute-2005","history":"/api/acts/discipline-statute-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/discipline-statute-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/discipline-statute-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/discipline-statute-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/discipline-statute-2005/documents"}}
