Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A formal legal notice (called a "proclamation") signed by the Governor-General that switches on specific parts of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment Act 2008.

What it does: It officially sets 1 July 2008 as the date when items 20 to 25 of Schedule 1 of that Amendment Act become active law. Without this document, those specific rules would remain dormant even though Parliament had already passed them.

Why it matters: This ensures that particular changes to Australia's telecommunications surveillance and interception laws took effect on a specific, announced date, giving government agencies and telecommunications companies certainty about when new obligations began.
