Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal proclamation by the Governor-General that brings part of the Telecommunications Amendment (Integrated Public Number Database) Act 2006 into legal effect.

What it does:

Sets 15 May 2007 as the date when Schedule 1 of the Act commences (becomes law)
Activates amendments to the Telecommunications Act 1997 concerning the Integrated Public Number Database (IPND)

Background: The IPND is the central database containing all public telephone numbers in Australia and associated customer details. It's used by emergency services (000), law enforcement, and telephone companies. The underlying Act (which this proclamation activates) amends how this database is managed and accessed.

Who it affects: This proclamation itself is purely administrative, but the Act it activates affects telecommunications providers who must supply data to the IPND, and government agencies that access it.
