This can be said for any state in Australia, but this is referenced from the Victorian Law Institute:
"The Victorian parliament makes law in certain areas for the people of Victoria. The federal parliament has powers in other areas to make laws for all Australians."
The Courts (Judges) also make law through "Case Law" which isn't set at Magistrate's Court Level, but from County, Supreme and High Court (eg: In the case of Entity A vs Entity B" either through the severity of the offence of if the Accused appeals. Case law remains legislation until the drafting of updated legislation where it then becomes actual legislation.
Legislators are people who WRITE legislation on behalf of parliament which then goes through various stages within parliament (lower house, upper house, senate, etc).
At no stage is there ever 'The Police' sitting at a desk writing legislation/law... only ever enforcing either existing law or rules, policies, etc... and yes, there is a level of interpretation but that interpretation is then determined within a court of law...
Not trying to start an argument, just providing some clarity.
