Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation — a legal notice that switches on part of a workplace relations law.

What it does:

Sets 1 July 2012 as the date when Schedule 1 of the Fair Work Amendment (Textile, Clothing and Footwear Industry) Act 2012 starts operating
Before this date, the new workplace rules for the textile, clothing and footwear industry were dormant
From 1 July 2012 onwards, those rules became legally active and enforceable

Why it exists: Australian laws often pass Parliament but don't start immediately. The Governor-General issues a proclamation to tell businesses, workers and courts the exact moment the new rules kick in.
