Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation. It sets 1 January 2007 as the date when Schedule 1 of the Trade Practices Legislation Amendment Act (No. 1) 2006 comes into force.

What this means:

The Governor-General is exercising a power within the Act itself to fix the exact start date for these specific amendments
Until this proclamation was made, Schedule 1 was not yet law (even though the Act had passed Parliament)
Businesses, consumers, and regulators now have certainty about when the new trade practices rules in Schedule 1 take effect

This is an administrative legal instrument that activates legislation, rather than changing the substance of the law itself.
