Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal proclamation (an official government notice) that activates a specific part of criminal law on a set date.

What it does:

It "switches on" Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Powers and Offences) Act 2012
It makes that part of the law legally effective from 25 June 2012

Why this matters: When Parliament passes new laws, different parts can start at different times. This proclamation is the official mechanism that tells courts, police, and the public exactly when this particular section of the Act begins to operate. Before this date, Part 2 of Schedule 2 could not be enforced, even though the Act had already been passed by Parliament.
