a family violence offence proceeding is a trial by jury; and

a recorded statement is admitted in evidence in the proceeding.
(2)
The court must tell the jury that—
(a)
admission of a recorded statement is a usual practice; and
(b)
the jury must not draw any inference against the accused person, or give the evidence more or less weight, because the evidence is given in that way.
