Crimes Act 1914
to defer until November 2009 the second review of Part ID of the Act (relating to forensic procedures); and

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
