268: Repeal of Local Government (Prohibition of Liquor in Public Places) Amendment Act 2001

You could also call this:

“Cancelling a law about drinking in public places”

The Local Government (Prohibition of Liquor in Public Places) Amendment Act 2001 is no longer in effect. This means that the law has been cancelled.

Even though this law has been cancelled, it’s important to know that some changes it made to another law, called the Local Government Act 1974, are still valid. These changes were made in sections 8 and 9 of the cancelled law.

The Interpretation Act 1999 helps explain how to understand laws when they change. This act confirms that cancelling the Local Government (Prohibition of Liquor in Public Places) Amendment Act 2001 doesn’t undo the changes it made to the Local Government Act 1974.
