Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation made by the Governor-General. It simply sets 1 October 2001 as the date when the Migration Legislation Amendment Act (No. 6) 2001 comes into force (starts operating as law).

What it does:

Fixes the specific day the main Act begins to have legal effect
Signed by the Governor-General on 27 September 2001, acting on ministerial advice
Made under section 2(1) of the Act, which allowed the Governor-General to choose the start date

Why it matters: Without this proclamation, the Amendment Act would not legally commence, even though it was passed by Parliament. This formal 'switch-on' date is crucial for determining when the migration law changes actually apply to people.
