Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is an official proclamation (a formal legal announcement) made by the Governor-General that switches on specific sections of the Border Protection Legislation Amendment (Deterrence of Illegal Foreign Fishing) Act 2005.

What it does:

Sets 30 November 2005 as the date when Part 2 and Division 1 of Part 3 of Schedule 1 to the Act become active law.

Why this matters: Even after Parliament passes a Bill, some parts don't start immediately. They need a "commencement proclamation" like this one to activate them. Without this document, those specific sections about deterring illegal foreign fishing would remain dormant (inactive) despite being passed by Parliament.

How it works: The Governor-General acts on the advice of the Federal Executive Council (Cabinet) and uses the power given by the parent Act itself (specifically items 3 and 4 in its commencement table) to fix the date.
