36  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

      This Part creates a framework for gathering material that relates to the contravention of offence provisions and civil penalty provisions.
      For this Part to operate, an offence provision or a civil penalty provision must be made subject to investigation under this Part. This is to be done by another Act.
      An authorised person may enter premises if the authorised person suspects on reasonable grounds that there may be material on the premises related to the contravention of an offence provision or a civil penalty provision that is subject to investigation under this Part.
      Entry must be with the consent of the occupier of the premises or under an investigation warrant.
      An authorised person who enters premises may exercise investigation powers. The authorised person may be assisted by other persons if that assistance is necessary and reasonable and another Act empowers the authorised person to do so.
      An occupier's consent to an authorised person entering premises for the purposes of investigation must be voluntary. Authorised persons must abide by the terms of that consent.
      An authorised person who enters premises under an investigation warrant must give details of the warrant to the occupier of the premises.
      The occupier of the premises may observe the execution of an investigation warrant and must provide reasonable facilities and assistance for the effective execution of the warrant.
