This repeal simply tidies up the law by removing dead provisions. It does **not** change how the Ombudsman currently operates or reduce anyone's rights—it just clears historical clutter."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ombudsman-northern-territory-self-government-transitional-arrangements-repeal-regulation-2012","history":"/api/acts/ombudsman-northern-territory-self-government-transitional-arrangements-repeal-regulation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ombudsman-northern-territory-self-government-transitional-arrangements-repeal-regulation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ombudsman-northern-territory-self-government-transitional-arrangements-repeal-regulation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ombudsman-northern-territory-self-government-transitional-arrangements-repeal-regulation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ombudsman-northern-territory-self-government-transitional-arrangements-repeal-regulation-2012/documents"}}
