This is a formal commencement proclamation made by the Governor-General. It sets the specific dates when certain parts of the Migration Legislation Amendment Act (No. 1) 2008 come into force (become law).

Specifically:

7 October 2008: Items 3–5 and 14 of Schedule 5 commence
27 October 2008: Schedule 1 commences
27 October 2008: Items 1–4 and subitems 6(1) and 6(2) of Schedule 4 commence

Without this proclamation, those parts of the Act would not be active. This document simply activates these specific amendments to Australia's migration laws on the stated dates.
