Tasmania regulation
This regulation formally names specific state, territory and Commonwealth statutes as the "corresponding laws" used under the Police Powers (Assumed Identities) Act 2006, and it rescinds earlier corresponding-laws regulations. It therefore determines which non‑Commonwealth statutes count as equivalent for cross‑jurisdictional use of assumed‑identity powers, clarifying legal recognition that affects police and agencies exercising those powers and the administrative processes that support them.
