Before this date, that section of the Act existed on paper but could not be enforced.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nAnyone subject to the rules in Part 1 of Schedule 1 of that Act (typically telecommunications providers, broadcasters, or media companies, depending on the specific amendments made by that Act).\n\n**Why it matters:**\nAustralian laws often do not take effect immediately after passing Parliament. This document, signed by the Governor-General, officially \"commences\" (activates) that portion of the law, telling courts, regulators, and the public exactly when those new rules start applying."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/communications-legislation-amendment-act-no-3-2003-proclamation-04-12-2003","history":"/api/acts/communications-legislation-amendment-act-no-3-2003-proclamation-04-12-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/communications-legislation-amendment-act-no-3-2003-proclamation-04-12-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/communications-legislation-amendment-act-no-3-2003-proclamation-04-12-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/communications-legislation-amendment-act-no-3-2003-proclamation-04-12-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/communications-legislation-amendment-act-no-3-2003-proclamation-04-12-2003/documents"}}
