If you break a rule in the Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989, you can be charged with an offence under a different section of the Act, instead of just getting an infringement notice under section 50A. You can still be prosecuted and convicted under another section of the Act. This means the police can choose to charge you with a more serious offence if they want to, using a different part of the law, rather than just giving you an infringement notice as outlined in section 50A.

Nothing in section 50A prevents the prosecution of, and conviction for, an offence in any other section of this Act (instead of proceeding under section 50A).
