Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation (an official government announcement) that switches on specific parts of the Workplace Relations Legislation Amendment Act 2002.

What it does: It fixes 14 February 2003 as the start date for:

Item 18 of Schedule 3
Item 33 of Schedule 3
Items 36 through 40 of Schedule 3

Why this matters: Not all laws begin automatically when Parliament passes them. Some need the Governor-General to officially "proclaim" (declare) when they start. This document does exactly that—giving legal effect to those specific workplace relations amendments from 14 February 2003. It was signed by Governor-General Peter Hollingworth on 6 February 2003.
