48F  Simplified outline of this Part

      Legislative instruments are automatically repealed after a fixed period of time (subject to some exceptions). The automatic repeal is called sunsetting.
      Generally, legislative instruments sunset on the first 1 April or 1 October on or after the tenth anniversary of their registration. The Attorney‑General may (by legislative instrument) defer sunsetting in some circumstances.
      The Attorney‑General must arrange for the tabling in each House of Parliament of a list of legislative instruments that are due for sunsetting on the same day. The Office of Parliamentary Counsel must then arrange for each rule‑maker to be given a copy of the list.
      Either House of Parliament may resolve to continue in force a legislative instrument that would otherwise sunset.
      A legislative instrument does not sunset if this Act or a regulation under this Act, or another Act, provides or has the effect that this Part does not apply to the instrument.
