Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal legal notice (a proclamation) that switches on specific parts of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment Act 2006.

What it does:

Sets 1 July 2007 as the date when three specific sections (called "items 4A to 4C" in Schedule 1) become active law
Acts as the legal "start button" — Parliament had already passed these changes, but they needed this document to take effect

Who made it:

Professor Marie Bashir, acting as Deputy for the Governor-General (the Queen's representative in Australia)
Signed with the Great Seal of Australia on 28 June 2007
Authorised by Mal Brough, the Minister for Indigenous Affairs

Why it matters: Without this proclamation, those specific amendments to Aboriginal land rights law would remain inactive "on the shelf." This document is the legal trigger that makes them enforceable.
