308  Requiring registered agents to give information

 (1) The Migration Agents Registration Authority may require a registered agent:
 (a) to make a statutory declaration in answer to questions in writing by the Authority; or
 (b) to appear before an individual specified by the Authority and to answer questions; or
 (c) to provide the Authority with specified documents or records relevant to the agent's continued registration.

 (2) An individual before whom a registered agent appears to answer questions must record the questions and answers and give the record to the Migration Agents Registration Authority.

 (3) A registered agent is not excused from giving information or providing a document on the ground that the information or provision of the document may tend to incriminate the person.

 (4) However:
 (a) any information or document provided in response to a requirement under subsection (1); and
 (b) any information or thing (including any document) obtained as a direct or indirect result of information or a document provided in response to a requirement under subsection (1);
is not admissible in evidence against the registered agent in any criminal proceedings (except proceedings for an offence against section 487).
