This section of the Crimes Act 1961 was called ‘Interpretation’. It was part of the act but it has been removed. The government took it out of the law on 18 April 2012. They did this when they made changes to the law with the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. You can’t use this section anymore because it’s not part of the law now.
