Application of Commonwealth laws in relation to offences against applicable provisions of other jurisdictions
30 Application of Commonwealth laws in relation to offences against applicable provisions of other jurisdictions
The Commonwealth laws apply as laws of Queensland in relation to an offence against the applicable provisions of another jurisdiction as if those provisions were laws of the Commonwealth and were not laws of that other jurisdiction.
For the purposes of a law of Queensland, an offence against the applicable provisions of another jurisdiction—
is taken to be an offence against the laws of the Commonwealth, in the same way as if those provisions were laws of the Commonwealth; and
is taken not to be an offence against the laws of that jurisdiction.
Subsection (2) has effect for the purposes of a law of Queensland except as prescribed by regulations under section 80.
This section does not require, prohibit, empower, authorise or otherwise provide for, the doing of an act outside Queensland.
