Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Governor-General can change some parts of the Telecommunications Act by adding or removing services. You can think of services like different types of phone or internet plans. When a new service is added, the Governor-General must describe the service, say who can use it, and set rules for how it works. The Governor-General can also change the rules for services that already exist. This can include things like how much a service costs or who is allowed to use it. If the Governor-General makes a change, it is called secondary legislation, which has its own set of rules, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
