Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation Amendment Act 2010 - Proclamation

What this document does:

This is a formal proclamation (an official government notice) that sets the commencement date for parts of the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation Amendment Act 2010.

Key details:

What happens: Schedules 1 and 2 of the Amendment Act come into force on 1 September 2010.
Who made it: Marie Bashir, acting as Administrator of the Government (on behalf of the Governor-General), with advice from the Federal Executive Council.
Legal basis: Made under section 2(1) of the Amendment Act itself, which allowed the government to pick the start date by proclamation.

Why it matters:

Many Australian laws don't start immediately when passed by Parliament. This document officially "switches on" the first two schedules of the wine and brandy law reforms, giving businesses and regulators certainty about when the new rules apply.
