Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does: This regulation cancels (repeals) the Governor-General Regulations from 1984.

Who it affects: Primarily the Office of the Governor-General and anyone who previously had to follow the 1984 rules.

Why it matters: It cleans up Australia's law books by removing outdated regulations. When old rules are no longer needed, the Governor-General (acting on ministerial advice) can repeal them to keep the law tidy and prevent confusion about which rules still apply.
