"Rules Made by the Government to Help in Emergencies"

Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

The Governor-General can make rules for things like what badges emergency workers wear. You might see rules about what people can and can't do during an emergency. The Minister must talk to people and groups before making these rules. The Minister must think about other laws that affect essential services like power and water. The rules can say how people get into restricted areas. They can also say what happens if someone breaks the rules, like getting a fine. These rules are called secondary legislation, which means they are made under a main law. You can find out more about how these rules are published in the Legislation Act 2019. The Minister must follow certain steps before making these rules, like talking to people and thinking about other laws.
