9. (1) For the avoidance of doubt, this Act does not affect an Australian law
so far as the law relates to a court's power to dispense with the operation of
a rule of evidence or procedure in an interlocutory proceeding.

(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

   (e)  proof of title to property (other than by a means provided for by this
        Act that is applicable to proof of title to property). Note: This
        section differs from section 9 of the NSW Act.
