216: Repeal and revocation
or “Cancellation of the old Privacy Act and its rules”

You could also call this:

“Changes to other laws due to Privacy Act 2020 (no longer part of this Act)”

This part of the law used to talk about changes that needed to be made to other laws because of the Privacy Act 2020. However, it’s not part of the law anymore. The government removed this section on 8 December 2020. If you want to know why they removed it, you can look at section 218 of the Privacy Act 2020.
