It tidies up the statute book by removing an obsolete committee and its founding document. It doesn't create new rules — it simply removes old ones that were no longer needed. The work previously done by this committee was likely absorbed into the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment (which administers this order)."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The order removes the scope of the National Parks and Wildlife Order 1972 by revoking that instrument and dissolving the Wildlife Advisory Committee (s 3). Mechanically, it eliminates the statutory entity and any powers or formal role that flowed from the 1972 order; the text does not specify where former functions or responsibilities will be transferred."},"complexity_factors":["Single, narrowly focused purpose (revocation and dissolution only; s 3)","Very short instrument: three operative clauses (ss 1–3)","Immediate commencement tied to Gazette notification (s 2) — no staged implementation","No transitional or savings provisions specified, creating potential practical uncertainty about allocation of former Committee functions","No new regulatory duties, penalties, or fee arrangements to interpret","Named administrative responsibility (Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment) but no detail on reassignment of functions"],"plain_english_summary":"This order revokes the National Parks and Wildlife Order 1972 and dissolves the Wildlife Advisory Committee, taking effect when its making is notified in the Gazette (ss 2–3). It removes the statutory basis for that advisory body; organisations or persons who previously interacted with the Committee will no longer do so under that instrument.\n\nThe order imposes no new fees or duties; its operation is commenced by Gazette notification (s 2) and it is administered by the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment (s 3 note)."},"summary":{"complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The instrument appears to have remained exactly as originally enacted since 14 June 2000, with no amendments recorded.

It directly affected committee members, government agencies, and members of the public who relied on that formal advisory channel. \n\nIts significance is practical: by revoking the committee, the instrument ended a structured source of external input into wildlife policy and decisions, potentially reducing formal independent oversight of wildlife management."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/wildlife-advisory-committee-revocation-order-2000","history":"/api/acts/wildlife-advisory-committee-revocation-order-2000/history","analysis":"/api/acts/wildlife-advisory-committee-revocation-order-2000/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/wildlife-advisory-committee-revocation-order-2000/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/wildlife-advisory-committee-revocation-order-2000/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/wildlife-advisory-committee-revocation-order-2000/documents"}}
