Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a formal proclamation (an official government announcement) that activates part of an existing law by setting its start date.

Key details:

It brings Schedule 1 of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Legislation Amendment (Export Control) Act 2004 into force
The law takes effect on 1 December 2004
Issued by the Governor-General on 31 August 2004 under the authority of the Act itself

Why it matters: Parliament often passes laws that don't start immediately. This document officially triggers when the export control amendments become legally binding. Without this proclamation, Schedule 1 would remain inactive regardless of being passed by Parliament.
