Proceedings for a summary offence against this Act must be commenced—
in the case of an expiable offence—within the time limits prescribed for expiable offences by the Summary
Procedure Act 1921;
in any other case—within two years of the date on which the offence is alleged to have been committed or, with the authorisation of the
Minister, at a later time within five years of that date.
In any proceedings, an apparently genuine document purporting to be a certificate of the Minister certifying authorisation of proceedings for an offence against this Act will be accepted, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as proof of the authorisation.
