 (a) the information or contact details given; or
 (b) giving the information or contact details; or
 (c) any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of giving the information or contact details;
is not admissible in evidence against the individual:

 (e) in criminal proceedings (other than proceedings for an offence against section 137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code that relates to this Part).
 (3) If, at general law, an individual would otherwise be able to claim the privilege against self‑exposure to a penalty (other than a penalty for an offence) in relation to giving information or contact details under section 194, the individual is not excused from giving information or contact details under that section on that ground.
