Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation by the Governor-General that sets 1 July 2007 as the commencement date for specific provisions of the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Amendment Act 2007.

In plain terms, it switches on certain parts of the law on that specific date. The provisions activated include:

Schedule 1 of the Amendment Act
Specific sections of Part 1 of Schedule 2 (namely items 1, 3–6, 10–12, 13, 15, 19, 20 and 26)

This means those particular changes to how films, books and computer games are classified in Australia became legally effective from 1 July 2007. The proclamation itself doesn't change what the law says—it simply decides when those changes start applying.
