Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation — essentially a legal 'start button' for part of a workplace law.

What it does:

Activates Schedule 1 of the Workplace Relations Amendment (Improved Remedies for Unprotected Action) Act 2004
Sets the start date as 30 April 2004

Why it matters: Australian laws often don't take effect immediately after Parliament passes them. This Proclamation, signed by the Governor-General on 22 April 2004, formally triggers the new rules about remedies for unlawful industrial action. Without this document, those legal changes would remain inactive.
