Instead, it acts as the legal \"on switch\" for amendments already passed by Parliament.\n- Once activated on 1 July 2007, the amendments changed how foreign seafarers (maritime crew) could enter Australia, introducing new visa categories and conditions for ship workers.\n- Without this proclamation, those visa changes would remain dormant and unenforceable.\n\n**Who made this:** The Governor‑General (representing the Crown) acting on ministerial advice, as required by the Australian Constitution for bringing laws into effect."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-maritime-crew-act-2007-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-maritime-crew-act-2007-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-maritime-crew-act-2007-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-maritime-crew-act-2007-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-maritime-crew-act-2007-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-maritime-crew-act-2007-proclamation/documents"}}
