Since Czechoslovakia is no longer a nation, does anyone know if the treaty is inherited after the split? Louis Waweru Talk 15:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So...according to the map we don't have a treaty with Tasmania? 152.91.9.9 (talk) 02:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed this :) Map updated to shade Tasmania in purple as well, becoming part of Australia once again. 02:28, 22 November 2017 (UTC)49.196.2.46 (talk)

Or New Zealand? I find that hard to believe. Johnnie Rico (talk) 21:55, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade website there does exist a special procedure with Australia and the United Kingdom.

Serious Omissions: e.g., Canada has been an extradition partner since at least 1998[edit]

The map and article are in serious need of a review. Canada, for example, lists Australia as an extradition partner in the Canadian federal Extradition Act of 1998. See http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/showdoc/cs/E-23.01/sc:1/20091007/en#anchorsc:1 See also http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/legis/cth/num_reg_es/ecar200412004n166637.html?stem=0&synonyms=0&query=canada%20and%20extradition See also regulations 166, 167, 168 under the Australian Extradition Act of 1988.

Extradition to UK

The article's map shows (correctly) that there are extradition arrangements in force between Australia and the UK - and then fails to specify them! (All the more galling, since there are links to loads of treaties!)

Spent a frustrating hour trying to locate a source.

The governing legislation is the Extradition Act 2003. There is reference there to special provisions for extradition to New Zealand (see earlier comment above), but nothing for the UK. (The NZ law does have special rules for both Australia AND the UK, according to the reference in that comment).

There is a list of extradition treaties - but no UK-Oz treaty.

Clearly, there are special rules for UK-Oz extradition - and there should be a reference to the source(s) in this article! Skeptic12 (talk) 01:16, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
