CRIMINAL CODE 2002 - SECT 65

Geographical application—double criminality

    (1)     This part applies to an offence committed partly in the ACT and partly in a place outside the ACT (whether or not outside Australia), even if it is not also an offence in that place.

    (2)     This part applies to an offence committed completely outside the ACT (whether or not outside Australia) only if—

        (a)     it is also an offence in the place where it is committed; or

        (b)     it is not also an offence in that place, but the trier of fact is satisfied that the offence is such a threat to the peace, welfare or good government of the ACT that it justifies criminal punishment in the ACT.
