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
S. 30(1) amended by No. 61/1991 s. 6.
The Commonwealth laws apply as laws of Victoria 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 Victoria, 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 Victoria 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 Victoria.
