Section 4AA of the Crimes Act
Section 4AA of the Commonwealth Crimes Act 1914 says:
4AA Penalty units

(1) In a law of the Commonwealth or a Territory Ordinance, unless the contrary intention appears:

penalty unit means $110.
It's so the Parliament only has to change one provision (this one) to change the size of fines across the board.
