Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This proclamation fixes 1 January 2006 as the date the Tasmanian Defamation Act 2005 begins to operate (made under s 2). From that date the Act’s rights, duties and remedies on defamatory publications apply to individuals, publishers and organisations in Tasmania.

The commencement decision is made by the Governor with the advice of the Executive Council; the instrument records Gazette notification and Department of Justice administration. It does not amend the Act’s substance but creates the timing for compliance and enforcement.
