You can think of the Oil Pollution Levies Order 1978 as a set of rules. The Governor-General can change these rules from time to time. This is allowed until the Marine Pollution Act 1974 is repealed by section 481. The Governor-General can make changes that could be made under sections 333 and 335, if those sections were in force. These changes are made by Order in Council, which is a type of official decision.
