Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal commencement proclamation—a legal instrument that switches on part of an existing law on a specific date.

Under the Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment (Superannuation Contributions) Act 2007, the Governor-General has the power to decide when individual sections take effect. This document exercises that power to activate item 1 of Schedule 2 on 27 April 2007.

Why this matters: Not all laws start immediately when Parliament passes them. This proclamation acts like an "on switch," making that specific provision (likely concerning how superannuation contributions are treated when someone becomes bankrupt) legally enforceable from the stated date.
