You could also call this:

"What examples mean in this law: they help explain rules, but rules are what count."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When you read examples in this part of the law, you need to understand they are just illustrations. They help explain the rules, but they do not restrict what the rules mean. If an example seems to disagree with the rule it is explaining, the rule is what matters.

If you find an example and a rule that seem to contradict each other, you should follow the rule. The example is only there to help you understand the rule better. You can find more information about changes to this law in the Telecommunications (Property Access and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2017.
