Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 2012

A person must not—

refuse or fail to provide a statement of information as required by the person heading an investigation; or

include information in a statement of information knowing that it is false or misleading in a material particular; or

without lawful excuse, refuse or fail to comply with a requirement or direction of an investigator under this Act; or

alter, destroy, conceal or fabricate a document or other thing knowing that it is or is likely to be required by an investigator performing functions under this Act; or

otherwise hinder or obstruct an investigator, or a person assisting an investigator, in the performance of his or her functions.

An investigator may arrest a person without warrant if the investigator reasonably suspects that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit, an offence against subsection (1) and—

when required to do so by an investigator the person failed to state truthfully his or her personal details or to produce true evidence of those details; or

the investigator has reasonable grounds for believing that the person would, if not arrested—

fail to attend court in answer to a summons issued in respect of the offence; or

continue the offence or repeat the offence; or

alter, destroy, conceal or fabricate evidence relating to the offence; or

intimidate, harass, threaten or interfere with a person who may provide or produce evidence of the offence.

On arresting a person under this section, the investigator must immediately deliver the person, or cause the person to be delivered, into the custody of a police officer (and the person will, for the purposes of any other law, then be taken to have been apprehended by the police officer without warrant).
