You could also call this:

"This law about private body parts is no longer in use."

This law, called 'Anal intercourse', which was part of the 'Sexual crimes' section in the Crimes Act 1961, no longer exists. It was removed on 20 May 2005. This means that the law about anal intercourse that was once in this section is not in effect anymore. The government decided to take it out of the law books completely.
