7 How objects are to be achieved
This Act aims to achieve its objects by—
(a) giving the courts power to make protection orders to protect
people from personal violence; and
(b) creating offences to enforce protection orders; and
(c) ensuring that access to the courts is as simple, quick and
inexpensive as is consistent with justice; and
(d) recognising registered orders made elsewhere in Australia and
in New Zealand.
