Proclamation under the Vocational Education and Training Amendment (Tasmanian Learning and Skills Authority) Act 2004 (TAS)

Vocational Education and Training Amendment (Tasmanian Learning and Skills Authority) Act 2004 commences. The Act establishes the Tasmanian Learning and Skills Authority, which will replace the former Tasmanian Vocational Education and Training Commission. This proclamation was issued by the Administrator in and over the State of Tasmania and its Dependencies in the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Executive Council. The proclamation sets out the date of commencement for the new Act, which is 1 January 2005.

The legal issue before the court was whether the proclamation was validly issued and whether the Act commenced on the date specified in the proclamation. The court considered whether the proclamation was issued in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions and whether the date of commencement was correctly set out in the proclamation. The court also considered whether there were any procedural irregularities that would render the proclamation invalid.

The court found that the proclamation was validly issued and that the Act commenced on the date specified in the proclamation. The court held that the proclamation was issued in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions and that there were no procedural irregularities that would render the proclamation invalid. The court also held that the date of commencement was correctly set out in the proclamation.

No further orders were made by the court.
