Abstract
Australia is a federation where the Commonwealth
has no direct power over crime. What power the
Commonwealth has in the area of crime derives mainly from
the operation of the implied incidental power adhering to
the express powers in section 51 of the Australian
Constitution and from the express incidental power,
placitum 51(xxxix). Other constitutional powers, such as
subsection 52(1), exclusive, plenary power in relation to
Commonwealth places, section 119. protection of the
states against domestic violence and section 122, plenary
power in relation to territories, may be called into play
in appropriate situations. There is also some role for
the inherent national power.
