Liquor Control Act 1988

If an authorised officer, or another person at the request of an authorised officer, purchases or obtains liquor in connection with the performance of the authorised officer’s functions under this Act —

neither the authorised officer, nor the other person, commits an offence arising out of the purchase or obtaining of the liquor; and

neither the authorised officer, nor the other person, is liable as a party to an offence committed by another person arising out of the purchase or obtaining of the liquor; and

the evidence of the authorised officer, or of the other person, in proceedings for an offence arising out of the purchase or obtaining of the liquor is not the evidence of an accomplice.

On the hearing of any charge of an offence under this Act, the court —

may, if, in the circumstances of the case, the court thinks it proper to do so, convict the accused on the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice; and

shall not acquit an accused by reason only that the only evidence against the accused is the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice,

In any proceedings against a licensee for an offence against this Act, the acts, admissions and statements of an employee or agent of the licensee are admissible as evidence, whether done, made or given in the presence of the licensee or not.
