When you look at a resolution or motion that changes or gets rid of secondary legislation, you are looking at secondary legislation itself. This is because it can disallow, amend, or replace secondary legislation under this part of the law, as explained in section 117, and it has to follow the publication requirements outlined in Part 3. You can find more information about publication requirements in Part 3.

When a resolution or motion is passed, the Clerk of the House of Representatives must send a copy of it to the Parliamentary Counsel Office, and they must publish it as if they had written it themselves, following section 69(3). This is an important step in the process of creating secondary legislation.

Some rules, like sections 116(2) and 117(2), still apply even if the copy or notice has not been published yet.
