Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation repeals (cancels) the International Tin Council (Privileges and Immunities) Regulations 1982 (Statutory Rules 1982 No. 155).

The International Tin Council was an intergovernmental organization that managed global tin markets through buffer stock schemes. After the Council collapsed financially in 1985 and ceased effective operations, Australia no longer needed to maintain legal protections—such as tax exemptions and immunity from lawsuits—for the organization and its staff. This instrument formally removes those outdated privileges, cleaning up Australian law by recognising that the Council no longer functions as an active international body requiring diplomatic-style protections.

This is a straightforward housekeeping repeal that removes obsolete legislation from the statute books.
