Crimes Act 1961

Crimes against rights of property - Arson, damage, and waste

295: Attempted arson

You could also call this:

“This used to be about trying to set things on fire on purpose, but it's not part of the law anymore.”

The law about attempted arson no longer exists. It was removed from the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 October 2003. This means that there are no specific rules about trying to commit arson in this part of the law anymore.
