Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation that switches on Schedule 11 of the Telecommunications Legislation Amendment (Competition and Consumer Issues) Act 2005 on 1 January 2006.

A proclamation is a formal announcement signed by the Governor-General that activates (or 'commences') specific parts of a law that Parliament has already passed. Until this document was signed, the rules in Schedule 11 existed on paper but were not legally enforceable.

What this does:

Activates: Schedule 11 of the telecommunications competition reforms
Effective date: 1 January 2006
Signed: 15 December 2005 by Governor-General Philip Michael Jeffery

This gives telecommunications companies and consumers legal certainty about exactly when these specific competition and consumer protection rules take effect.
