Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation (an official legal announcement by the Governor-General) that sets the start date for a specific part of the Navigation Act 1912.

What it does:

Fixes 27 May 2004 as the day when Division 12C of Part IV of the Navigation Act 1912 begins to operate (comes into force).

Why it matters: Many laws are passed by Parliament but don't start working immediately. This proclamation acts like an "on switch," telling everyone exactly when this particular section of shipping and maritime safety law becomes active and legally binding.
