Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation by the Governor-General bringing parts of the Telecommunications (Interception) Amendment Act 2006 into legal effect. It announces that Schedules 1 to 3 of that Act will commence (start operating as law) on 13 June 2006.

Why this matters:

Acts passed by Parliament often need a separate formal step (a proclamation) before they actually take effect.
Without this document, those specific schedules would remain dormant law — passed but not active.
This ensures the government can control exactly when new surveillance or interception powers begin.
