Without this document, the renaming of government agencies and regulatory bodies (likely changing from the old \"National Registration Authority\" to the \"Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority\") would remain in limbo. This tells farmers, chemical companies, and public servants: \"The new names officially apply from 30 July 2004.\""}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/agricultural-and-veterinary-chemicals-legislation-amendment-name-change-act-2004-proclamation-21-07-","history":"/api/acts/agricultural-and-veterinary-chemicals-legislation-amendment-name-change-act-2004-proclamation-21-07-/history","analysis":"/api/acts/agricultural-and-veterinary-chemicals-legislation-amendment-name-change-act-2004-proclamation-21-07-/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/agricultural-and-veterinary-chemicals-legislation-amendment-name-change-act-2004-proclamation-21-07-/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/agricultural-and-veterinary-chemicals-legislation-amendment-name-change-act-2004-proclamation-21-07-/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/agricultural-and-veterinary-chemicals-legislation-amendment-name-change-act-2004-proclamation-21-07-/documents"}}
