Before this date, those parts of the law were not yet in force; after this date, they became active and enforceable.\n\n**Who is involved:**\n*   The **Governor-General** (Philip Michael Jeffery), acting on the advice of the Federal Executive Council, issued the proclamation under powers given in the Act itself.\n*   The **Minister for Finance and Deregulation** (Lindsay Tanner) authorised the action.\n\n**Why this matters:** Australian laws often pass through Parliament but do not start immediately. This document is the official trigger that makes these specific amendments to land acquisition laws operational."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/lands-acquisition-legislation-amendment-act-2008-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/lands-acquisition-legislation-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/lands-acquisition-legislation-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/lands-acquisition-legislation-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/lands-acquisition-legislation-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/lands-acquisition-legislation-amendment-act-2008-proclamation/documents"}}
