Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation by the Governor-General that commences (brings into force) the majority of the Stronger Futures in the Northern Territory Act 2012. Specifically, it sets 16 July 2012 as the date when sections 3 to 120 of that Act begin to operate.

The parent Act continued special measures in the Northern Territory affecting Aboriginal communities, including alcohol restrictions, income management (quarantining welfare payments for food and essentials), and licensing of community stores. This proclamation acts as the legal switch that turned those measures on, replacing the earlier Northern Territory Emergency Response (the 'Intervention').
