They need a formal proclamation like this to set the official start date.\n- This proclamation was part of the process to end Norfolk Island's self-governing status and bring it under the Australian federal system. Part 1 of Schedule 1 contained the initial provisions needed to begin this transition.\n- Without this document, those specific legal changes would remain inactive, even though Parliament had already passed the parent Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/norfolk-island-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2015","history":"/api/acts/norfolk-island-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2015/history","analysis":"/api/acts/norfolk-island-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2015/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/norfolk-island-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2015/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/norfolk-island-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2015/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/norfolk-island-legislation-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2015/documents"}}
