27  After subsection 185(4)
Insert:

Evidence may be used in prosecutions etc.

 (4A) To avoid doubt, if, when exercising powers under this section, an officer obtains evidence of the commission of an offence against a law of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory, then that evidence may be used, or given to another body for use, in:
 (a) investigating the offence; or
 (b) proceedings for the prosecution for the offence.
However, this subsection does not override or limit the operation of a law of a State about the evidence that may be used in proceedings for the prosecution for an offence against a law of that State.
