140ZQ Division binds the Crown
          (1) This Division binds the Crown in right of the Commonwealth, of
              each of the States, of the Australian Capital Territory and of the
              Northern Territory.
          (2) However, this Division does not make the Crown liable to be
              prosecuted for an offence.
          (3) To avoid doubt, subsection (2) does not prevent the Crown being
              liable to pay a pecuniary penalty under this Division.
