Proclamation under the Police Service (Consequential Amendments) Act 2003 (TAS)

Police Service (Consequential Amendments) Act 2003 comes into force in Tasmania. The proclamation was made by the Governor of Tasmania, Richard Butler, acting on the advice of the Executive Council and in accordance with section 2 of the Act. The proclamation was published in the Gazette on 31 December 2003 and is administered by the Department of Police and Public Safety.

The legal issues in this case were not explicitly stated, but the proclamation's validity and the proper application of the Police Service (Consequential Amendments) Act 2003 would have been considered. The proclamation's compliance with the Tasmanian Constitution and other relevant laws would have been scrutinized to ensure its enforceability. The court's role, if any, would have been to interpret the Act and determine whether the proclamation was consistent with the law.

The proclamation was made under the authority of section 2 of the Police Service (Consequential Amendments) Act 2003, which empowers the Governor to fix a commencement date for the Act. The proclamation was issued on the advice of the Executive Council, which is a constitutional requirement in Tasmania. The proclamation was published in the Gazette and administered by the Department of Police and Public Safety, as required by law. The court would have reviewed the proclamation to ensure that it complied with the Act and other relevant laws.

The proclamation was valid, and the Police Service (Consequential Amendments) Act 2003 came into force on 1 January 2004 in Tasmania. The court would have confirmed that the proclamation was consistent with the law and that the Governor had the authority to make it. The proclamation's validity and enforceability were not challenged, and no further orders were made.
