42: Amendments made to secondary legislation by Act do not prevent later amendments

You could also call this:

"Changes made by an Act to secondary laws don't stop further changes being made later."

If a law, called an Act, changes some secondary legislation, you can still make more changes to that secondary legislation later. You can amend, revoke, or replace the secondary legislation as if the original change had been made by secondary legislation. The fact that an Act made the initial change does not stop you from making further changes to the secondary legislation, you can do this just like you would if secondary legislation had made the initial change, for more information you can look at the relevant section.
