Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage (Interim Protection) Act 1984 No. 79 of 1984 - SECT 7

7. (1) This Act is not intended to exclude or limit the operation of a law of
a State or Territory that is capable of operating concurrently with this Act.

(2) A law of a Territory has effect to the extent to which it is not
inconsistent with a provision of the regulations, or of a declaration under
this Act, having effect in that Territory, but such a law shall not be taken
for the purposes of this sub-section to be inconsistent with such a provision
to the extent that it is capable of operating concurrently with that
provision.

(3) Where-

   (a)  a law of a State or Territory deals with a matter dealt with in this
        Act; and

   (b)  an act or omission by a person that constitutes an offence against
        that law also constitutes an offence against this Act or an offence
        referred to in paragraph 23 (1) (b), the person may be prosecuted and
        convicted under that law or under this Act or the Crimes Act 1914, as
        the case may be, but nothing in this sub-section renders a person
        liable to be punished more than once in respect of the same act or
        omission.

(4) Nothing in this Act derogates from the rights of any person to any remedy
consistent with this Act that he would have apart from this Act.
