AUDITOR-GENERAL ACT 1997 - SECT 35

Self - incrimination no excuse

    A person is not excused from producing a document or answering a question under section   32 on the ground that the answer, or the production of the document, might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty. However, neither:

  (a)   the answer to the question or the production of the document; nor

  (b)   anything obtained as a direct or indirect result of the answer or the production of the document;

is admissible in evidence against the person in any criminal proceedings (other than proceedings for an offence against, or arising out of, section   32 of this Act or proceedings for an offence against section   137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code that relates to this Act).
