The Governor-General issues these proclamations to choose the exact start date.\n*   Without this document, those two Schedules (the specific changes to the law) would remain dormant.\n\n**Who made it:**\n*   The Governor-General (Quentin Bryce), acting on advice from the Federal Executive Council, using the power granted by section 2 of the parent Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/parliamentary-counsel-and-other-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012","history":"/api/acts/parliamentary-counsel-and-other-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/parliamentary-counsel-and-other-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/parliamentary-counsel-and-other-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/parliamentary-counsel-and-other-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/parliamentary-counsel-and-other-legislation-amendment-proclamation-2012/documents"}}
