3D Application of Part
This Part is not intended to limit or exclude the operation of another law of the Commonwealth (including other provisions of this Act) relating to:
the search of premises; or
arrest and related matters; or
the stopping, detaining or searching of conveyances or persons; or
the seizure of things; or
the requesting of information or documents from persons.
To avoid any doubt, it is declared that even though another law of the Commonwealth (including other provisions of this Act) provides power to do one or more of the things referred to in subsection (1), a similar power conferred by this Part may be used despite the existence of the power under the other law.
This Part is not intended to limit or exclude the operation of a law of a Territory relating to:
