Illustration for Fast-track Approvals Act 2024

This law applies to everyone, including the government. When a law 'binds the Crown', it means that the government and its officials must follow the rules set out in the law, just like everyone else. The Crown is another way of saying the government. So, this part of the law is telling you that no one is above this law, not even the people in charge of the country.
