This means Schedule 1 will automatically begin on the exact same day that South Australia's *National Gas (South Australia) Act 2008* comes into force.\n\n**Why this matters:** This ensures that Commonwealth gas market laws and South Australian gas laws start simultaneously, preventing regulatory gaps and keeping the national energy market synchronized across state and federal jurisdictions."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australian-energy-market-amendment-gas-legislation-act-2007-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/australian-energy-market-amendment-gas-legislation-act-2007-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australian-energy-market-amendment-gas-legislation-act-2007-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australian-energy-market-amendment-gas-legislation-act-2007-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australian-energy-market-amendment-gas-legislation-act-2007-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australian-energy-market-amendment-gas-legislation-act-2007-proclamation/documents"}}
