You were asked to select the correct statement.

It is correct to say that this legislation applies in the state of Victoria but not in the other Australian states or territories.  This is because it is an Act of the Victorian parliament.

It is incorrect to say that Section 1 of this Act contains what is described as ‘extrinsic’ evidence of the legislature’s intention when this law was enacted.  Evidence of the legislature’s intention that is found in the provisions of an Act is referred to as ‘intrinsic’ evidence.

It is also incorrect to say that none of the words used in this Act are given special defined meanings by the provisions of this Act.  Section 3 contains some definitions.
