Self‑incrimination
125B Self‑incrimination
An individual is not excused from giving information or evidence or producing a document under this Part on the ground that the information or evidence or the production of the document might tend to incriminate the individual or expose the individual to a penalty.
However:
the information or evidence given or the document produced; or
any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of giving the information or evidence or producing the document;
is not admissible in evidence against the individual in criminal proceedings, or proceedings for a civil penalty order, other than:
proceedings for an offence against subsection 125A(4) or section 125E; or
proceedings for an offence against section 137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code (about false or misleading information or documents) that relates to this Part.
