Amendments can add, remove, or update parts of these agreements. They are often used when it is better to change the document than to write a new one.

Repeal
A repeal (O.F. ''rapel'', modern ''rappel'', from ''rapeler'', ''rappeler'', revoke, ''re'' and ''appeler'', appeal) is the removal or reversal of a law. There are two basic types of repeal; a repeal with a re-enactment is used to replace the law with an updated, amended, or otherwise related law, or a repeal without replacement so as to abolish its provisions altogether. Removal of secondary legislation is normally referred to as revocation rather than repeal in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Under the common law of England and Wales, the effect of repealing a statute was "to obliterate it completely from the records of Parliament as though it had never been passed." This, however, is now subject to savings provisions within the Interpretation Act 1978. In parliamentary procedure, the motion to rescind, repeal, or annul is used to cancel or countermand an action or order previously adopted by the assembly. Partial or full repeals A partial repeal occurs when a specified part o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Broadcasting Services Act 1992
The ''Broadcasting Services Act 1992'' (Cth) is an Act of the Parliament of Australia, which broadly covers issues relating to content regulation and media ownership in Australia. The law stipulates what is political advertising and the specific conditions which must be met before they are authorised for publication. Background Prior to the Act, the primary legislation in regulating Australia’s broadcasting services was the Broadcasting Act 1942. The ancestral Act was restrictive to the content and ownership of commercial radio and thus was successively amended to accommodate for the introduction of privately owned television networks. The ad hoc approach to legislating broadcasting regulations was reviewed by parliament in 1988 leading to the drafting of the current Act. Meanwhile, Australia’s restrictions on foreign investment were eased during the 1980’s leading to significant investment in Australia’s private sector. Restrictions were, however, still in place fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
