Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal Proclamation — essentially a legal notice that sets the exact date when specific parts of an already-passed law come into force.

What it does: It fixes 18 April 2015 as the day when three specific sections of the Migration and Maritime Powers Legislation Amendment (Resolving the Asylum Legacy Caseload) Act 2014 commence (become active):

Division 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 2
Schedule 4
Part 2 of Schedule 5

Why this matters: Laws often pass Parliament in stages or "schedules." This instrument acts as an "on switch," telling the public and government agencies exactly when these particular rules (related to asylum processing and maritime enforcement powers) started to apply. Until this proclamation was made, those sections were inactive, even though the Act itself had already been passed.
