225: Order for reset date

You could also call this:

"The Governor-General can set a new date for parts of the law, with the Minister's approval."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

The Governor-General can choose a date to be the reset date for certain parts of the law, but only if the Minister recommends it. You can find out more about this in sections 195 and 196. The Governor-General can only make this choice once.

The Minister will only recommend a reset date if the Commission has already reviewed it under section 209 and said it's a good idea. If the Governor-General does make this choice, it will be part of what's called secondary legislation.

You can learn more about what secondary legislation is and how it's published by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
