i don’t think the airspace you are currently in determines jurisdiction. But I’ve always wondered: suppose you are pax on a US registered airplane but leased to say a Spanish carrier and you commit a serious offence eg a murder. Which law applies a) while at the gate in sydney, b) taxying out, c) airborne over Australia, d) enroute over pacific. Not thinking of doing it but would like to know anyway
As far as public health orders go, each state has included the airspace above the state in their respective orders.

Part 2.6 Fitted face coverings
(d) on a domestic commercial aircraft, including when the aircraft is flying above New South Wales
