96F  Double jeopardy
 (1) If an act or omission by a person is an offence against this Act and is also an offence against a law of a State, the person may be prosecuted and convicted under this Act or under that law of that State in respect of the act or omission, but nothing in this Act renders a person liable to be punished twice in respect of the same act or omission.
 (2) If:
 (a) an application is made to the Federal Court or a Supreme Court under subsection 96B(1) in respect of an act or omission by a person; and
 (b) the person is dealt with by the court under that section in respect of the act or omission;
the person is not liable to be prosecuted for an offence in respect of that act or omission.
 (3) If a person is prosecuted for an offence in respect of an act or omission referred to in subsection 96A(1) without an application being made to the Federal Court or a Supreme Court under subsection 96B(1) in respect of the act or omission, an application must not be made under subsection 96B(1) in respect of the act or omission.
