Section 436(3) of the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 (Qld) does not exclude evidence of admissions made to police where the accused was not in the company of police for the purpose of being questioned as a suspect, but rather the police attended for another purpose such as assisting a complainant to resume possession of her home. Evidence of prior domestic violence is admissible under s 132B of the Evidence Act 1977 (Qld) where it is relevant to rebut an inference that a deliberate attack by the accused was improbable given the nature of the relationship.
