This proclamation pulls the trigger, bringing the main body of the Australia Council Act into operation and allowing the Council to exercise its statutory powers."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australia-council-commencement-proclamation-2013","history":"/api/acts/australia-council-commencement-proclamation-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australia-council-commencement-proclamation-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australia-council-commencement-proclamation-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australia-council-commencement-proclamation-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australia-council-commencement-proclamation-2013/documents"}}
