6  Subsection 11C(3)
Repeal the subsection, substitute:
 (3) Despite subsection (2), a thing said or admission made is admissible even if the person who said the thing or made the admission had not been informed of the effect of subsection (1), if:
 (a) the thing was said or the admission was made by a person (including a child under 18) indicating that a child under 18 has been abused or is at risk of abuse; and
 (b) for a thing or admission that was obtained improperly or in contravention, or in consequence of an impropriety or of a contravention, of an Australian law—the evidence is admissible under section 138 of the Evidence Act 1995;
unless, in the opinion of the court, sufficient evidence of the thing said or the admission made is available to the court from other sources.
Note: A thing that is said, or an admission that is made, by a child under 18 may relate to the child him or herself, or another child under 18.
