Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

The Governor-General can update Schedule 1A from time to time. You can find Schedule 1A at this link. The Governor-General can change the text to keep it up to date. The Governor-General can also remove the old Schedule 1A and replace it with a new one. This new schedule will have the updated text of the Fish Stocks Agreement. If the Governor-General makes an update, it is called secondary legislation. You can learn more about secondary legislation in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
