Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation—the legal "on switch" for specific parts of an existing law.

What it does:

The Governor-General has officially set 28 November 2011 as the day when Schedules 1 and 2 of the Customs Amendment (Export Controls and Other Measures) Act 2011 come into force (become active law).

Why this matters: Even after Parliament passes a law, it often doesn't apply immediately. A proclamation like this is the formal step required to "turn on" or activate the amendments. Without this document, those specific schedules (parts) of the Act would remain dormant.

Key detail:

This proclamation only activates Schedules 1 and 2. Other parts of the same Act may have commenced automatically on a different date or may still be waiting to be proclaimed.
