Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997

This Act does not enable the authority or a member to require a person to produce a document containing exempt matter or to answer a question or give a statement relating to exempt matter.

For this section, a certificate purporting to be signed by the Attorney-General stating that a document contains, or a question relates to, exempt matter is evidence of the matter stated.

Subsection (4) applies if, in good faith, a person produces a document, answers a question or gives a statement relating to exempt matter for the purpose of enabling the authority to perform a function mentioned in section 10(g) (a relevant disclosure).

The relevant disclosure by the person does not, of itself, constitute—

a contravention of the Criminal Code, section 85; or

a disciplinary ground under the Public Sector Act 2022, section 91(1)(b) or (g)(i); or

corrupt conduct under the Crime and Corruption Act 2001, section 15.
