Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) A person is not
obliged to answer any question or furnish any information pursuant to
section 19 unless the Commissioner has reasonable grounds for the belief
that such person is able to materially assist in such investigation or enquiry
as is mentioned in that section.
(2) Without prejudice
to the provisions of section 11 of the Evidence Act 1906 , where a
person is by virtue of this Act or any other Act required by the Commissioner
to —
(a) give
any information;
(b)
answer any question;
(c)
produce any document,
he shall not refuse to
comply with that requirement on the ground that the information, answer or
document may tend to incriminate him or render him liable to any penalty, but
the information or answer given, or document produced, by him shall not be
admissible in evidence in any proceedings against him other than proceedings
in respect of an offence against section 21(1)(b).
