303: Interfering with signals, etc
or “This law about messing with important signs or signals doesn't exist anymore.”

You could also call this:

“This law used to make it illegal to mess with mines, but it's not in use anymore.”

This law is no longer in effect. It was called ‘Interfering with mines’ and was part of the rules about arson, damage, and waste in the Crimes Act 1961. The government removed this law on 1 October 2003. This means that if you want to know about laws related to mines, you’ll need to look at other, more current laws.
