Commentary on provisions of the Act Section 27: Procedure for certain regulations under section 26
This section makes provision for the parliamentary procedure in respect of regulations made under section 26(3)(c). Section 65 provides for the parliamentary procedure for regulations made under section 26(3)(a) and (b) and (8). Regulations made under section 26(3)(c) are generally subject to the draft affirmative procedure (subsection (1)), but subsections (2) to (5) provide for the made affirmative procedure to apply in cases of urgency, for example in response to an increase in small boat arrivals over the parliamentary summer recess.
