New South Wales

Law Enforcement (Controlled

Operations) Amendment

(Corresponding Laws) Regulation 2007

under the

Law Enforcement (Controlled Operations) Act 1997

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Law Enforcement (Controlled Operations) Act 1997.

JOHN WATKINS, M.P.,

Minister for Police

Explanatory note
Law Enforcement (Controlled including sections 4 and 31 (the general regulation-making power).
The object of this Regulation is to amend Schedule 1 to the
Operations) Act 1997 (the Act) so as to omit a reference to a law of South Australia.
Schedule 1 sets out the laws of the Commonwealth, or of another State or Territory, that are
corresponding laws within the meaning of the Act. Recent amendments to the Act (which are
to commence on the same date as this Regulation) provide, among other things, for
cross-border controlled operations. Such operations are to be conducted in both New South
Wales and one or more participating jurisdictions, being a jurisdiction in which a
corresponding law is in force.
Pending the determination of which jurisdictions are to be participating jurisdictions, the
amendment to Schedule 1 ensures that South Australia does not automatically become a
participating jurisdiction on the commencement of the amendments to the Act. Another effect
of this amendment is that the South Australian law concerned will no longer be a
corresponding law for the purposes of other provisions of the Act. South Australia has

confirmed that it has no objection to the amendment.
