Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation—essentially an 'on switch' for a specific part of the law.

What it does:

Activates item 22 of Schedule 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (No. 2) 2005
Sets the start date as 16 February 2006

Why this is needed: Australian laws often pass Parliament but don't take effect immediately. This proclamation, signed by the Governor-General under the Act's own commencement rules, formally tells the legal system when that specific provision starts being enforceable.

Who it affects: While this is an administrative document (not the substantive law itself), it determines when the legal changes in item 22 become binding on law enforcement agencies, courts, and the public.
