This formal notice ensures Tasmania's participation in the national scheme starts on a clear, legally certain date."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-personal-property-securities-commonwealth-powers-act-2010","history":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-personal-property-securities-commonwealth-powers-act-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-personal-property-securities-commonwealth-powers-act-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-personal-property-securities-commonwealth-powers-act-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-personal-property-securities-commonwealth-powers-act-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/proclamation-under-the-personal-property-securities-commonwealth-powers-act-2010/documents"}}
