428G Intoxication and the actus reus of an offence

(1) In determining whether a person has committed an offence, evidence of self-induced intoxication cannot be taken into account in determining whether the relevant conduct was voluntary.
(2) However, a person is not criminally responsible for an offence if the relevant conduct resulted from intoxication that was not self-induced.
