Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This regulation formally scraps two older regulations—Statutory Rules 1982 No. 322 and Statutory Rules 1983 No. 123—that dealt with addresses under Freedom of Information (FOI) law.

Who it affects: Government agencies and individuals making FOI requests. However, this doesn’t change how FOI requests currently work; it simply removes outdated rules from the books.

Why it matters: This is legislative housekeeping. By repealing these two specific sets of 1980s-era regulations, the government cleans up the statute book without introducing any new rules or requirements. The entire content of this instrument is the repeal provision itself.
