Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is an official proclamation (a formal declaration by the Governor-General) that activates specific parts of the Australian Federal Police and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2004.

What it does:

Sets 1 July 2004 as the date when items 1 to 7 of Schedule 1 of that Act come into force (become legally active)
This "switches on" those particular sections so they can be enforced

Why it matters: When Parliament passes laws, the provisions don't always apply immediately. This proclamation officially starts the clock on those specific amendments, meaning the Australian Federal Police and other affected agencies could exercise any new powers or duties contained in those items from 1 July 2004 onwards.
