Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A formal legal notice (called a "proclamation") that "switches on" parts of a previously passed law.

What it does: This document sets 3 September 2008 as the official start date for Schedules 1 to 3 of the Lands Acquisition Legislation Amendment Act 2008. Before this date, those parts of the law were not yet in force; after this date, they became active and enforceable.

Who is involved:

The Governor-General (Philip Michael Jeffery), acting on the advice of the Federal Executive Council, issued the proclamation under powers given in the Act itself.
The Minister for Finance and Deregulation (Lindsay Tanner) authorised the action.

Why this matters: Australian laws often pass through Parliament but do not start immediately. This document is the official trigger that makes these specific amendments to land acquisition laws operational.
