Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does: This regulation is a housekeeping measure that formally deletes the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission Regulations 1992—the rulebook for an Indigenous advisory body (ATSIC) that was abolished in 2005.

Who it affects: Primarily government administrators and any remaining entities technically bound by the old 1992 rules. For most people, this is historical cleanup with no practical day-to-day impact.

Why it matters: It completes the legal dismantling of ATSIC by removing outdated subordinate legislation. The regulation has a procedural quirk: it self-repeals at the end of its first day (section 3(2)), meaning it exists only briefly to sweep away the old rules before disappearing itself.
