In March 2013 Australia's accession to the Council of Europe's "Convention on Cybercrime" came into force following the "Cybercrime Legislation Amendment Act" 2012 (Cth). The amendments to the "Criminal Code" which removed the earlier "carriage service" (telephone and internet) elements of some computer offences (in part 10.7) were apparently supported by the s.51(xxix) external affairs power (arising from obligations under an international treaty). This may mean that ratification of the Convention extended the Commonwealth power in this area beyond the s.51(v) power, avoiding the need to rely on the definition of 'other like services'.
