Application to the Crown
(1) To avoid doubt, a reference in this section to the Crown in a particular right includes a reference to an instrumentality or agency (whether a body corporate or not) of the Crown in that right. (2) Chapter 5 (except Part 5.8) binds the Crown in right of the Commonwealth, of each of the States, of the Australian Capital Territory and of the Northern Territory. (3) Chapters 6, 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D: (a) bind the Crown in right of the Commonwealth; and (b) do not bind the Crown in right of any State, of the Australian Capital Territory or of the Northern Territory. (4) A provision of Chapter 5D, 6CA or 7 only binds the Crown in a particular capacity in circumstances (if any) specified in the regulations. (5) Nothing in this Act makes the Crown in any right liable to a pecuniary penalty or to be prosecuted for an offence.
