Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is an official commencement proclamation — essentially a legal "start button" for specific parts of the Telecommunications (Interception) Amendment Act.

What it does:

Fixes 1 October 2006 as the date when Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Amendment Act comes into force
Signed by the Administrator of the Commonwealth (acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council) and the Attorney-General

Why it matters: When Parliament passes legislation, different parts can start on different dates. This proclamation activates one specific section of the surveillance law reforms (likely concerning access to stored communications, based on the Act's title), allowing those powers to be used from October 2006 onwards.

In simple terms: This is the official notice that says "this specific bit of the surveillance laws starts on October 1st, 2006."
