12 Application of Code as to offences wholly or partially committed in
Queensland
(1) This Code applies to every person who does an act in Queensland or makes
an omission in Queensland, which in either case constitutes an offence.
(2)
Where acts or omissions occur which, if they all occurred in Queensland, would
constitute an offence and any of the acts or omissions occur in Queensland,
the person who does the acts or makes the omissions is guilty of an offence of
the same kind and is liable to the same punishment as if all the acts or
omissions had occurred in Queensland.
(3) Where an event occurs in Queensland
caused by an act done or omission made out of Queensland which, if done or
made in Queensland, would constitute an offence, the person who does the act
or makes the omission is guilty of an offence of the same kind and is liable
to the same punishment as if the act or omission had occurred in Queensland.
(3A) It is a defence to prove that the person did not intend that the act or
omission should have effect in Queensland.
(4) Where an event occurs out of
Queensland caused by an act done or omission made in Queensland, which act or
omission would constitute an offence had the event occurred in Queensland, the
person who does the act or makes the omission is guilty of an offence of the
same kind and is liable to the same punishment as if the event had occurred in
Queensland.
(5) This section does not extend to a case where the only
material event that occurs in Queensland is the death in Queensland of a
person whose death is caused by an act done or an omission made out of
Queensland at a time when the person was out of Queensland.
