8A  Meaning of hearing material and witness
 (1) Hearing material is:
 (a) particular evidence given by a person at a hearing under Part 9; or
 (b) a document or thing produced by a person to the Integrity Commissioner at a hearing under Part 9; or
 (c) particular information that might enable a person, who has given evidence at a hearing under Part 9, to be identified; or
 (d) the fact that a particular person has given or may be about to give evidence at a hearing under Part 9.
 (2) To avoid doubt, information, a document or a thing is not covered by paragraph (1)(a) or (b) to the extent that it is obtained otherwise than at a hearing.
Example: Before a document is produced at a hearing, a law enforcement agency obtains a copy of the document when executing a search warrant. The copy obtained under the warrant is not hearing material.
 (3) The witness is:
 (a) for the hearing or hearing material—the person referred to in paragraph (1)(a), (b), (c) or (d); or
 (b) for derivative material—the person who is the witness for the hearing material from which the derivative material was obtained.
