Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal legal announcement (proclamation) by the Governor-General that activates part of the Defence Legislation Amendment Act 2011. Specifically, it sets 1 March 2012 as the date when Schedule 1 of that Act comes into force (starts operating). Without this proclamation, the amendments in Schedule 1 would remain dormant and unenforceable. This is a routine but essential procedural step in the Australian legislative process.
