Checklist
- Record only an occasion the subsection (2) text describes. Subsection (2) does not limit subsection (1).
- The defendant must prove the occasion. The screen is not that proof.
- Schedule 1 and the definitions of Australian court, Australian tribunal and parliamentary body were not opened. The lawyer reads them before relying on those limbs.
