4 Simplified outline of this Ordinance
The laws of New South Wales, as in force in New South Wales from time to time, form part of the law of the Territory. In this Ordinance, the term “applied laws” is used to refer to New South Wales laws in their character as laws of the Territory.
Applied laws may be amended or repealed by an Ordinance made under section 19A of the Norfolk Island Act 1979 or by a law made under such an Ordinance. An Ordinance may also suspend the operation of an applied law for a period.
This Ordinance amends, repeals and suspends applied laws as set out in the items in the Schedules to this Ordinance.
The items are to be read together with the New South Wales laws in order to understand the operation of the applied laws in the Territory. The items continue in effect according to their terms from time to time and may be amended or repealed by subsequent Ordinances or by rules made under this Ordinance.
