For people using radio equipment, this means the specific fines and penalties that used to be listed in those old regulations no longer exist as of 1 July 1993.\n\nThis is a 'housekeeping' law—it's cleaning up old legal documents that are no longer needed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-penalties-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-penalties-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-penalties-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-penalties-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-penalties-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-penalties-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
