This case involves the proclamation made by the Governor in and over the State of Tasmania, acting under the Litter Amendment Act 2019. The proclamation fixed 2 December 2019 as the commencement date for the Act. The Act, which amends the Litter Act 1994, introduces various measures aimed at reducing litter and improving waste management practices in Tasmania. The proclamation was made on 18 November 2019, and was subsequently displayed and numbered in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953. It was notified in the Gazette on 27 November 2019, and is administered by the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment.

The legal issues before the court were not explicitly stated in the text. However, it can be inferred that the court would have considered whether the proclamation was valid and in accordance with the Litter Amendment Act 2019. This would involve examining the relevant provisions of the Act and ensuring that the proclamation was made in accordance with the prescribed procedure. Additionally, the court may have considered whether the commencement date of the Act was appropriate and whether it would have any unintended consequences.

The court's reasoning and outcome are not detailed in the text. However, it can be assumed that the court found the proclamation to be valid and in accordance with the Litter Amendment Act 2019. The court may have considered the evidence and arguments presented by the parties, as well as any relevant legal principles and precedents. Ultimately, the court would have made a decision based on the facts and law presented to it.

No final orders are mentioned in the text. However, it can be assumed that the court would have made an order confirming the validity of the proclamation and the commencement date of the Litter Amendment Act 2019. This would have the effect of bringing the new litter control measures into force on 2 December 2019. The court may also have made any necessary orders to ensure that the Act was implemented in a fair and effective manner.
