The fact that clauses 4–7 state their amendments have been incorporated into the authorised version suggests this was always intended as a technical amendment vehicle, not a policy expansion."},"complexity_factors":["Extremely short—only 7 clauses, with 4 being mere placeholders stating amendments have been incorporated elsewhere","No defined terms in this instrument itself (relies entirely on the Principal Act)","No conditional logic, exceptions, or cross-referencing within the operative text","Single external dependency: commencement tied to another Act's commencement date","Substantive content has been removed/historicised—this is essentially a shell document showing that amendments were made"],"plain_english_summary":"This is a **legislative instrument** (specifically, a regulation made under an Act) that amends the *Government Business Enterprises Act 1995*. \n\n**What it does:**\n- Makes four specific amendments to the Principal Act (clauses 4–7), though the actual text of those amendments has already been merged into the main Act and is no longer shown separately here.\n- Ties its commencement date to another piece of legislation—the *Dairy Industry Amendment Act 2000*—meaning it only takes effect when that dairy industry law starts operating.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- **Government Business Enterprises (GBEs)**—these are government-owned companies and authorities that operate commercially (like Australia Post or the NBN, though this 2000 order predates the NBN). \n- The **Department of Treasury and Finance**, which oversees these entities.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis order is part of the machinery that governs how government-owned businesses are structured, regulated, and held accountable. While the specific amendments here aren't visible (they've been \"incorporated\" into the main Act), instruments like this typically deal with matters such as:\n- Which entities count as GBEs\n- How their boards are appointed\n- Reporting and accountability requirements\n\nThe link to the *Dairy Industry Amendment Act 2000* suggests these changes may have been connected to restructuring dairy industry assets or entities at that time."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.

In force from 1 July 2000 and amended over time, the Order determines which entities are subject to GBE governance, reporting and dividend expectations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/government-business-enterprises-order-2000","history":"/api/acts/government-business-enterprises-order-2000/history","analysis":"/api/acts/government-business-enterprises-order-2000/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/government-business-enterprises-order-2000/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/government-business-enterprises-order-2000/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/government-business-enterprises-order-2000/documents"}}
