Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal proclamation (an official government announcement) that activates part of a bankruptcy law.

What it does:

Sets 5 May 2003 as the start date for "Schedule 1" of the Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment Act 2002
This means the changes contained in Schedule 1 become legally enforceable on that date

Who made it:

The Governor-General (Peter Hollingworth), acting on advice from the Federal Executive Council
Signed on 1 May 2003 under section 2(1) of the parent Act

Important note: This is just the "starting gun" document. It does not contain the actual changes to bankruptcy law (such as new rules about debtors, creditors, or trustees). It only announces when those changes begin. To see what actually changed, you would need to read Schedule 1 of the Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment Act 2002 itself.
