"Commonwealth WHS Act s 30A industrial manslaughter offence"
Commonwealth WHS Act 2011 s 30A creates an industrial manslaughter offence for a PCBU or officer whose intentional breach of a health and safety duty causes death, where the person was reckless or negligent as to causing death.
This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within CTH as enacted by Federal Register of Legislation.

Canonical claim: Under the current Commonwealth Work Health and Safety Act 2011 s 30A, a person commits industrial manslaughter if the person is a PCBU or an officer of a PCBU, has a health and safety duty, intentionally engages in conduct, the conduct breaches the duty, the conduct causes the death of an individual, and the person was reckless or negligent as to whether the conduct would cause death. Conduct causes death if it substantially contributes to the death. The maximum penalty is 25 years imprisonment for an individual or $18,000,000 for a body corporate.
