State criminal offences under s 244(1) of the CLCA are validly transmuted into Commonwealth offences at Commonwealth places by s 4 of the Commonwealth Places Act, and such laws do not impair State judicial power. The LSD Act (SA) applies as a transmuted Commonwealth law for the investigation of State offences at Commonwealth places by State police, while the SD Act (Cth) governs the investigation of Commonwealth offences. Covert recordings by State police at Commonwealth places are lawful without a warrant where the recording officer is a party to the conversation.
