Under the new legislation, governments will be unable to manipulate the date of an election, whether to avoid scrutiny or to ambush the Opposition.
Parliamentary committees, business and community groups, and electors travelling overseas will longer run the risk of being caught out.
The new legislation fulfils a promise made by the Liberal Party before the 2008 election.
