Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation does exactly what it says on the tin: it bins three old sets of Air Force rules.

The guts of it:

Cancels the Air Force Courts of Inquiry Regulations from 1939, 1940, and 1976 (Statutory Rules Nos. 40, 165, and 32 respectively)
Effective date: 3 July 1985

Why it matters: Think of this as cleaning out the legislative shed. The Air Force used to have specific procedures for running internal inquiries (called 'courts of inquiry'). By 1985, these particular rules had become outdated—probably replaced by newer Defence Force procedures or the Defence Force Discipline Act. This repeal tidies up the statute book by formally removing the old paperwork. It doesn't change how inquiries work day-to-day (newer rules would cover that), but it stops lawyers from accidentally citing regulations from the 1930s.
