Protection of witnesses etc
337CE Protection of witnesses etc
A person is not subject to any criminal or civil liability because the person (voluntarily or otherwise) gives information, produces a document or answers a question if:
the person does so when requested to do so by a person conducting an investigation under this Division; and
the information, document or answer is relevant to the investigation.
The first person may be the person whose disclosure gave rise to the disclosure investigation.
This section does not apply to liability for an offence against section 137.1, 137.2, 144.1 or 145.1 of the Criminal Code that relates to the information, document or answer, as the case may be.
This section does not apply to proceedings for a breach of a designated publication restriction.
To avoid doubt, if the information, document or answer relates to the person’s own conduct, this section does not affect his or her liability for the conduct.
