160 Offence to contravene help requirement
(1)
A person of whom a help requirement has been made must comply with the requirement unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
Maximum penalty—50 penalty units.
(2)
It is a reasonable excuse for an individual not to comply with a help requirement if complying might tend to incriminate the individual or expose the individual to a penalty.
(3)
However, subsection (2) does not apply if a document or information the subject of the help requirement is required to be held or kept by the individual under this Act.
Note—
See, however, section 188.
