299: Wilful waste or diversion of water, gas, or electricity
or “This law used to say it was wrong to waste or change where water, gas, or electricity goes on purpose, but it's not a rule anymore.”
You could also call this:

“This law used to make it illegal to mess with vehicles or other ways people travel, but it's not used anymore.”

This section of the law, which was about interfering with means of transport, no longer exists. It was removed from the Crimes Act 1961 on 1 October 2003. If you want to know more about what replaced this section, you might need to look at other parts of the law that were updated at the same time.
