80: Evidential status of minimum legislative information

You could also call this:

"What you can trust as true from basic law information"

When you look at the minimum legislative information published under this Act, it is evidence of certain things. You can use this information to know that secondary legislation was made, and if a date is stated, you can know that it was made on that date. If the date of publication is stated, you can know that the information was published on that date.

If the date of notification of the making of the secondary legislation is stated in the Gazette, you can know that the making of the secondary legislation was notified in the Gazette on the date stated. You can find more information about this by looking at the Legislation Act, which is related to this section.

These are the things you can assume to be true unless someone shows that they are not true.
