It is essentially a housekeeping measure to clean up the statute book by revoking decades of accumulated amendments and earlier versions of the regulations.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nPrimarily the Australian Defence Force and administrative staff dealing with the Royal Military College (Duntroon). Everyday members of the public are unlikely to notice any immediate practical impact, though cadets and staff would now operate under different regulatory arrangements (presumably replaced by new rules or absorbed into broader Defence instructions).\n\n**Why it matters:**\nIt removes outdated and superseded regulations, preventing confusion about which rules still apply. Rather than creating new obligations or rights, this instrument tidies up old law by clearing out the entire historical patchwork of Royal Military College regulations in one go."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/royal-military-college-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/royal-military-college-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/royal-military-college-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/royal-military-college-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/royal-military-college-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/royal-military-college-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
