Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation abolishes (repeals) the previous emergency rules that gave the government special wartime powers to control animal diseases.

During World War II, the Commonwealth created regulations under the National Security Act 1939 to manage livestock diseases as part of the defence effort. This instrument formally ends those 1942 regulations, stripping the government of those specific emergency powers to control animal diseases.

What this means:

The previous rules for animal disease control are completely deleted from the law
The government can no longer rely on these particular wartime powers to manage livestock health
