  (2)   For the avoidance of doubt, this Act does not affect a law of a State or Territory so far as the law relates to:

  (a)   admission or use of evidence of reasons for a decision of a member of a jury, or of the deliberations of a member of a jury in relation to such a decision, in a proceeding by way of appeal from a judgment, decree, order or sentence of the relevant court; or

  (b)   bail; or

  (c)   any requirement for admission of evidence in support of an alibi.

  (3)   For the avoidance of doubt, this Act does not affect a law of a State or Territory so far as the law provides for:

  (a)   the operation of a legal or evidential presumption (except so far as this Act is, expressly or by necessary intendment, inconsistent with the presumption); or

  (b)   the admissibility of a document to depend on whether stamp duty has been paid; or

  (c)   a requirement that notice must be given before evidence may be adduced; or

  (d)   evidentiary effect to be given to a certificate or other document issued under that or any other law of the State or Territory; or
