Since the relevant Standing Order came into effect on 5 November 2013, the only primary legislation relating to my Department which has been enacted is the Defence (Amendment) Act 2015.  This is a technical and administrative piece of legislation with the sole purpose of creating an appropriate naval rank  for the position of Chief of Staff for the Defence Forces.   In view of the limited application of the legislation, no post-enactment review was carried out.
