Legislative instruments (legislation made by a delegated authority and not
directly by an Act of Parliament) must be tabled in each House of Parliament
and, in most cases, can be disallowed by either House. This provides a
parliamentary check for decisions made by those to whom certain powers have
been delegated. Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, The 2010
