This proclamation flips the switch, determining exactly when the surveillance amendments become legally enforceable."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-interception-and-access-amendment-act-2007-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-interception-and-access-amendment-act-2007-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-interception-and-access-amendment-act-2007-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-interception-and-access-amendment-act-2007-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-interception-and-access-amendment-act-2007-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-interception-and-access-amendment-act-2007-proclamation/documents"}}
