Instead, the Governor-General issues a proclamation to \"switch on\" specific sections when the government is ready for them to take effect. This document performs that switch-flipping function for the first part of the nuclear terrorism amendments.\n\n**Important note:** This document doesn't define crimes or set penalties. It simply activates the amendments contained in Schedule 1, Part 1 of the main Act, which likely includes offences related to possessing radioactive materials with terrorist intent, or similar security measures."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/nuclear-terrorism-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012","history":"/api/acts/nuclear-terrorism-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/nuclear-terrorism-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/nuclear-terrorism-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/nuclear-terrorism-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/nuclear-terrorism-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/documents"}}
