Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If the Governor-General makes regulations under section 228 or 229, you need to know what this means. The Governor-General can make more regulations to change what an LFC must do under section 156AD. This can include things like where the service is supplied, who uses it, and what the service is like. You should look at what an LFC is, it is defined in section 156AB. Regulations made under this section are a type of law, and you can find out more about them in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. These regulations have to be published, so you can find out about them.
