Bounties are government payments designed to support local industries or production. This instrument performs a simple housekeeping function by formally removing the old regulations from the statute books, likely because they were outdated or replaced by new arrangements.\n\n**Who it affects**\nThis primarily affects Australian government officials who administered financial assistance schemes in the territories of Papua and New Guinea, as well as any businesses or producers who may have been operating under the previous 1926 rules.\n\n**Why it matters**\nIt prevents legal confusion by ensuring outdated regulations are clearly marked as no longer in force. This tidies up the law and makes it clear which rules currently apply to bounty payments in the territories."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/papua-and-new-guinea-bounties-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/papua-and-new-guinea-bounties-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/papua-and-new-guinea-bounties-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/papua-and-new-guinea-bounties-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/papua-and-new-guinea-bounties-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/papua-and-new-guinea-bounties-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
