Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation removes special legal protections previously granted to the Common Fund for Commodities, an international organisation that finances commodity development projects.

What it does:

Repeals (cancels) the 1985 regulations that gave this organisation privileges and immunities — special legal protections that included tax exemptions and immunity from being sued in Australian courts.
Once removed, the organisation no longer enjoys special status under Australian law and is treated like any other foreign entity.
The repeal is immediate and complete, with no replacement rules or transitional arrangements put in place.
