Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal proclamation (an official public announcement) that activates part of an existing law.

What it does:

It sets 18 December 2008 as the official start date for Schedule 1 of the Temporary Residents’ Superannuation Legislation Amendment Act 2008.
This means the amendments contained in Schedule 1—which deal with superannuation (retirement savings) rules for temporary residents of Australia—became legally enforceable on that date.

Who it affects:

Primarily affects temporary residents of Australia with superannuation accounts, as well as the funds and employers that manage those accounts, by bringing the relevant rule changes into force.

Why it matters: Without this proclamation, Schedule 1 would remain dormant. This document acts as the legal switch that turns those specific superannuation amendments on.
