Specifically, it sets **16 July 2012** as the date when sections 3 to 120 of that Act begin to operate.\n\nThe parent Act continued special measures in the Northern Territory affecting Aboriginal communities, including alcohol restrictions, income management (quarantining welfare payments for food and essentials), and licensing of community stores. This proclamation acts as the legal switch that turned those measures on, replacing the earlier Northern Territory Emergency Response (the 'Intervention')."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/stronger-futures-in-the-northern-territory-proclamation-2012","history":"/api/acts/stronger-futures-in-the-northern-territory-proclamation-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/stronger-futures-in-the-northern-territory-proclamation-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/stronger-futures-in-the-northern-territory-proclamation-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/stronger-futures-in-the-northern-territory-proclamation-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/stronger-futures-in-the-northern-territory-proclamation-2012/documents"}}
