Administrative Appeals Tribunal Amendment Act 2005 - Proclamation

What this is: A formal government notice (called a "Proclamation") that switches on most parts of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Amendment Act 2005.

What it does:

Sets 16 May 2005 as the date when specific changes to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) become law
Activates items 1 to 110, 112 to 180, and 182 to 236 in Schedule 1 of the Amendment Act
Notably excludes items 111 and 181, which started on different dates (or never commenced)

Why it matters: While this document doesn't contain the actual rule changes itself, it is the legal trigger that makes them enforceable. Without this proclamation, the amendments would remain inactive. The exclusions (items 111 and 181) suggest those particular amendments needed different timing—perhaps because they required additional administrative preparation or depended on other laws coming into force first.
