The Crimes Act 1914 (Cth) is an Act of the Parliament of Australia which addresses the most serious federal offences — that is, crimes against the Commonwealth. It was the first major federal criminal law since the Federation of Australia in 1901,[1] since most criminal law of Australia was, and still is, handled by the states and territories rather than at the federal level.
