CRIMES ACT 1914 - SECT 23N
Right to interpreter Where an investigating official believes on reasonable grounds
that a person who is under arrest or a protected suspect is unable, because of
inadequate knowledge of the English language or a physical disability, to
communicate orally with reasonable fluency in that language, the official
must, before starting to question the person, arrange for the presence of an
interpreter and defer the questioning or investigation until the interpreter
is present.
