Part IC - Investigation of Commonwealth offences  

SECTION 23A   Application of Part

Any law of the Commonwealth in force immediately before the commencement of this Part, and any rule of the common law, has no effect so far as it is inconsistent with this Part.

This Part does not exclude or limit the operation of a law of a State or Territory so far as it can operate concurrently with this Part.

(3)    
In subsection (2):

law of a State or Territory
includes such a law that is given a particular application by a law of the Commonwealth.

(4)
