EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULE 1982 NO 218
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS
Regulations 36 and 37 of the Telecommunications Regulations were made pursuant to section 86 of the Telecommunications Act, which dealt with interception of communications services. Consequent upon the Telecommunications (interception) Act 1979, which introduced entirely fresh provisions for such interception, the Telecommunications Amendment Act 1979 repealed section 86.
The two regulations therefore lack any effect, although they have not been formally repealed.
The purpose of this Statutory Rule is to delete Regulations 36 and 37.
