324 Evidence of contravention
For the purposes of this Act, a certificate that:
purports to be signed by the Registrar or other proper officer of an Australian court; and
states that:
a person was convicted by that court on a specified day of a specified offence; or
a person charged before that court with a specified offence was, on a specified day, found in that court to have committed the offence but that the court did not proceed to convict the person of the offence;
is, unless it is proved that the conviction was quashed or set aside, or that the finding was set aside or reversed, as the case may be, conclusive evidence:
if subparagraph (b)(i) applies—that the person was convicted of the offence on that day; and
if the offence was constituted by a contravention of a provision of a law—that the person contravened that provision.
