20 Other Commonwealth laws not to apply in relation to applied laws

(1) Subject to this Act, no Commonwealth law (other than an applied law) applies in relation to: (a) any applied law; or (b) anything done under an applied law. (1A) To avoid doubt, Chapter 2 of the Criminal Code does not apply in relation to, or in relation to anything done under, an applied law. (2) Subsection (1) has effect subject to any modifications prescribed by the regulations. (3) To the extent that: (a) a Commonwealth law applies to a State taxing law, or to things done under a State taxing law; and (b) there is a corresponding applied law; the Commonwealth law also applies to the applied law and to things done under the corresponding applied law. (4) If: (a) a law of the Commonwealth (other than an applied law) contains a reference to a State taxing law; and (b) an applied law corresponds to the State taxing law; then the reference is taken to include a reference to the applied law.
