Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation—a formal announcement by the Governor‑General that decides when part of a law starts operating.

What it does

It fixes 31 December 2007 as the day that Schedule 1 of the Higher Education Legislation Amendment (2007 Measures No. 1) Act 2007 begins.
Schedule 1 usually contains the actual changes to higher education rules (such as funding or university governance), but those details are not included here—this paper only sets the start date.

Why it matters Without this proclamation, the new rules in Schedule 1 would sit dormant and never become active law. By signing this document, the Governor‑General flips the switch that turns those amendments on.
