10 Criminal liability of the Territory
The Territory is liable for an offence against this Act.
Note This Act binds all governments, including the Commonwealth
(see Legislation Act, s 121 (1) and the Australian Capital Territory
(Self-Government) Regulations 2021 (Cwlth)). However, this Act does
not make a government (other than the Territory) liable to be prosecuted
for an offence (see Legislation Act, s 121 (3)).
