Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation (an official government notice) that sets 1 January 2008 as the date when Schedule 1 of the Maritime Legislation Amendment Act 2007 comes into force (starts operating).

In Australian law, Acts often don't start immediately when passed by Parliament. Instead, the Governor-General issues a proclamation to 'turn on' specific parts of the law on a particular date. This document does exactly that — it activates Schedule 1 of the maritime law changes from New Year's Day 2008.
