Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation by the Governor-General that activates specific parts of the Migration Amendment (Notification Review) Act 2008.

What it does:

Sets 5 December 2008 as the date when items 1 and 2 of Schedule 1 to the Migration Amendment (Notification Review) Act 2008 commence (come into legal force)
This triggers the legal effect of those specific amendments to the Migration Act 1958

Why this matters: When Parliament passes legislation, it often doesn't start immediately. A proclamation is the formal instrument that "switches on" the law. This document acts as the legal trigger, authorizing the specified notification review amendments to take effect on the stated date.
