| The State Government will today introduce legislation to scrap redundant laws from as long ago as 1830 as it cuts red tape in a bid to save taxpayers $150 million over five years.
Ten pieces of legislation will be abolished under the Obsolete Legislation Repeal Bill 2015, which will be introduced in State Parliament as part of Repeal Week.
The oldest is the Infants’ Property Act 1830. It says married women are treated similarly to people under the age of 21 and “idiots, lunatics and persons of unsound mind”.
