The Government must issue a Proclamation like this to activate them. This document officially turns on the changes to migration law concerning immigration detainees—except for that specific item—making them legally binding from 27 July 2001."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-immigration-detainees-act-2001-proclamation-26-07-2001","history":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-immigration-detainees-act-2001-proclamation-26-07-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-immigration-detainees-act-2001-proclamation-26-07-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-immigration-detainees-act-2001-proclamation-26-07-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-immigration-detainees-act-2001-proclamation-26-07-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-immigration-detainees-act-2001-proclamation-26-07-2001/documents"}}
