293: What constitutes criminal damage

You could also call this:

“This law used to explain what counts as damaging things on purpose, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law is no longer in effect. It was removed from the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 October 2003. The part that used to explain what counts as criminal damage has been taken out of the law. If you want to know about criminal damage now, you would need to look at newer laws or other parts of this Act.
