Some need the Governor-General to officially \"proclaim\" (declare) when they start. This document does exactly that—giving legal effect to those specific workplace relations amendments from 14 February 2003. It was signed by Governor-General Peter Hollingworth on 6 February 2003."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-legislation-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-06-02-2003","history":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-legislation-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-06-02-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-legislation-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-06-02-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-legislation-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-06-02-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-legislation-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-06-02-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/workplace-relations-legislation-amendment-act-2002-proclamation-06-02-2003/documents"}}
