      This Part is about people appearing remotely from New Zealand in Australian proceedings and people appearing remotely from Australia in New Zealand proceedings.
      Division 2 is about remote appearances from New Zealand in a proceeding in an Australian court or a prescribed Australian tribunal. Subdivision A deals with remote appearances by a party or a party's lawyer where the appearance is not related to evidence in the proceeding. Subdivision B deals with remote appearances by any person (including a party or a party's lawyer) where the appearance relates to evidence. Subdivision C has general provisions that relate to all remote appearances from New Zealand.
      Division 3 is about remote appearances from Australia in a proceeding in a New Zealand court or tribunal where those remote appearances are made in accordance with the NZ Act or the NZ Evidence Act. It allows the New Zealand court or tribunal to exercise certain powers in Australia for the purpose of the remote appearances. It also gives certain privileges, protections and immunities to participants in the remote appearances and has offences that apply for particular conduct engaged in (for example, obstructing the proceeding) at the place in Australia from where the remote appearances are being made.
