NOTES
1.	The Australian Capital Territory Evidence (Temporary Provisions) Act 1971 as shown in this reprint comprises Act No. 66, 1971 of the Commonwealth (as amended).
	The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (No. 106, 1988) of the Commonwealth subsection 34 (2) and Schedule 2 allowed for the conversion of certain Commonwealth laws (including that first mentioned Act) to Territory enactments.
	For the amendment history of the Australian Capital Territory Evidence (Temporary Provisions) Act of the Commonwealth see Commonwealth Acts Tables and Commonwealth Acts of the Parliament Volumes printed annually.  A Table showing the amendment history as provided by the Commonwealth as at 1 July 1992 is located at the back of this reprint for the reader’s convenience.
	Citation of Laws—The Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act 1989 (No. 21, 1989) altered the citation of most ACT laws so that after Self-Government day, or when they become Territory enactments they are to be cited as Acts.  That Act also affects references in ACT laws to Commonwealth Acts.
