This document flips the switch, allowing those specific amendments to be enforced from the stated date. Without this proclamation, those sections would remain dormant.\n\n**Who is affected**\n- Aboriginal Land Councils in the Northern Territory\n- Traditional owners of Aboriginal land\n- The Northern Territory Government\n- Commonwealth agencies administering Aboriginal land rights"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/aboriginal-land-rights-northern-territory-amendment-act-2006-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/aboriginal-land-rights-northern-territory-amendment-act-2006-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/aboriginal-land-rights-northern-territory-amendment-act-2006-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/aboriginal-land-rights-northern-territory-amendment-act-2006-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/aboriginal-land-rights-northern-territory-amendment-act-2006-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/aboriginal-land-rights-northern-territory-amendment-act-2006-proclamation/documents"}}
