This proclamation acts like a \"start button,\" telling everyone exactly when the new rules apply.

Cox) on 16 October 2006\n- Made under **section 2** of the Amendment Act (the section that allows the Governor to pick the start date)\n- Published in the *Gazette* (the official government newspaper) on 25 October 2006 — the same day the law commenced"},"summary":{"complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The scope has not changed from its original intent.
