Division 3 - Interaction between the Commonwealth credit legislation and State and Territory laws  

SECTION 23   CONCURRENT OPERATION INTENDED  

23(1)   [ No exclusion of concurrent laws]  

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.

23(2)   [ Liability for convictions]  

If:


(a) 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


(b) the person is convicted of either of those offences;

the person is not liable to be convicted of the other of those offences.

23(3)   [ Inconsistency]  

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.

Note:

Section 25 avoids direct inconsistency arising in some cases by limiting the operation of the Commonwealth credit legislation.
