Until this document was signed, Schedule 1 of the Act remained inactive—Parliament had passed the words, but they weren't legally binding yet. This proclamation flicks the switch."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-transitional-movement-act-2002-proclamation-11-04-2002","history":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-transitional-movement-act-2002-proclamation-11-04-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-transitional-movement-act-2002-proclamation-11-04-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-transitional-movement-act-2002-proclamation-11-04-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-transitional-movement-act-2002-proclamation-11-04-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-legislation-amendment-transitional-movement-act-2002-proclamation-11-04-2002/documents"}}
