It simply sets **1 October 2001** as the date when the *Migration Legislation Amendment Act (No. 6) 2001* comes into force (starts operating as law).\n\n**What it does:**\n- Fixes the specific day the main Act begins to have legal effect\n- Signed by the Governor-General on 27 September 2001, acting on ministerial advice\n- Made under section 2(1) of the Act, which allowed the Governor-General to choose the start date\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWithout this proclamation, the Amendment Act would not legally commence, even though it was passed by Parliament. This formal 'switch-on' date is crucial for determining when the migration law changes actually apply to people."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-6-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001","history":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-6-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-6-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-6-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-6-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-act-no-6-2001-proclamation-27-09-2001/documents"}}
