In your answer you said that it comes to the chamber and like all local regulations it is disallowable. Minister, that's not actually correct. There are some regulations that are not disallowable. So they do get tabled. They're not disallowable. I'm not accusing you of misleading; I'm just pointing out that that's what you said. So, there are disallowable instruments, and there are instruments that are not disallowable. An example of that is the Commonwealth Procurement Rules, which are a legislative instrument and are not disallowable. I'm just trying to get clarity as to whether or not a regulation such as the Customs (Singaporean Rules of Origin) Regulations 2017 made under the Customs Act 1901 is a disallowable instrument or not a disallowable instrument.
