What this does

This instrument scraps three old sets of regulations that controlled how flour could be exported from Australia. Specifically, it cancels:

Statutory Rules 1940 No. 216
Statutory Rules 1944 No. 177
Statutory Rules 1953 No. 92

These regulations originally set rules about exporting flour (such as quality standards, marking requirements, or export permits).

Who it affects

Flour producers and exporters, who from 1 January 1980 onwards no longer had to comply with these specific export rules. This removes red tape for the industry.

Why it matters

This is a deregulatory "housekeeping" measure. Rather than updating the old rules, the government chose to abolish them entirely, simplifying the regulatory framework for agricultural exports. The repeal took effect on 1 January 1980.
