This ensures the new rules protecting pension rights for people moving between Australia and Austria begin on 1 January 2012."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/commencement-second-protocol-to-the-agreement-between-australia-and-the-republic-of-austria-on-socia","history":"/api/acts/commencement-second-protocol-to-the-agreement-between-australia-and-the-republic-of-austria-on-socia/history","analysis":"/api/acts/commencement-second-protocol-to-the-agreement-between-australia-and-the-republic-of-austria-on-socia/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/commencement-second-protocol-to-the-agreement-between-australia-and-the-republic-of-austria-on-socia/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/commencement-second-protocol-to-the-agreement-between-australia-and-the-republic-of-austria-on-socia/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/commencement-second-protocol-to-the-agreement-between-australia-and-the-republic-of-austria-on-socia/documents"}}
