Option (A) The NSW Parliament is not legally bound by the High Court's precedents as it has the power to legislate independently of the court's rulings. Option (B) The Australian Parliament, similar to the NSW Parliament, operates on a national level and is also not subject to NSW law. Option (D) A NSW resident on holiday in Tasmania operates under the jurisdiction of Tasmanian law while on holiday, and thus is not directly bound by the NSW precedents.

Option (C) A foreign national living in NSW is legally bound by precedents set by the High Court in matters of NSW criminal law, as they fall under the jurisdiction of NSW laws and courts.
