Liquor Control Act 1988

The Director may designate a person employed or engaged in the Department as an inspector to —

ensure that licensed premises conform to proper standards; and

examine records relating to liquor transactions.

The Director must ensure that each inspector is issued a card (an identity card) that identifies the person as an inspector.

An inspector must —

carry the inspector’s identity card when performing a function of an inspector; and

if required to do so by a person in relation to whom the inspector performs the function, produce the inspector’s identity card before, or at the time of, performing the function.

In any proceedings, the production of an identity card is evidence of the designation under subsection (1) of the inspector to whom the card relates.

Subsections (2) to (4) apply in relation to a designated authorised officer in the same way they apply in relation to an inspector, and for that purpose a reference in subsections (2) to (4) to an inspector is taken to be a reference to a designated authorised officer.
