Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The substituted section 24 gives the Act and its rules or orders overriding effect over inconsistent provisions in other law. The former overlapping-offence exception in section 24(2) was removed when the whole section was substituted. Compatible laws remain unaffected, and the provision does not prevent Parliament from legislating later.
