Hello,
I am needing to know;
  1. What are the elements of the crime of Blackmail in Australia? If it isn't a federal law what are the elements in Victoria?
  2. What are the defences of the crime of Blackmail in Australia?
  3. And finally, how did common and statute law help develop these?
I look forward to your answers... thank-you!

The lawyers here won't write your assignment for you.
We don't do that here.
It's academic misconduct on your part,
and professional misconduct on ours.

And if you are "asking on behalf of someone else" - stop now.
You don't get to give advice/ provide information/ just try to help out
until you're admitted.
