Concurrent operation intended
23 Concurrent operation intended
This Act and the Transitional Act (the Commonwealth credit legislation) are not intended to exclude or limit the concurrent operation of any law of a State or Territory.
If:
an act or omission of a person is both an offence against the Commonwealth credit legislation and an offence against the law of a State or Territory; and
the person is convicted of either of those offences;
the person is not liable to be convicted of the other of those offences.
This section does not apply to a law of a State or Territory if there is a direct inconsistency between that law and the Commonwealth credit legislation.
Section 25 avoids direct inconsistency arising in some cases by limiting the operation of the Commonwealth credit legislation.
