Until this proclamation was signed, those schedules existed on paper but had no legal effect.\n\n**Why it matters:** Laws often pass Parliament but don't start immediately. This document is the legal trigger that turned the Border Integrity amendments into active law on the specified date. The Governor-General issued this proclamation under section 2(1) of the Act itself, which gave him the power to choose when these controversial border protection measures would begin."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-border-integrity-act-2007-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-border-integrity-act-2007-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-border-integrity-act-2007-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-border-integrity-act-2007-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-border-integrity-act-2007-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-border-integrity-act-2007-proclamation/documents"}}
