140XE Power to ask for person’s name and address
          (1) An inspector may require a person to tell the inspector the person’s
              name and address if the inspector reasonably believes that the
              person has contravened a civil penalty provision.
          (2) If the inspector reasonably believes that the name or address is
              false, the inspector may require the person to give evidence of its
              correctness.
          (3) A person contravenes this subsection if:
               (a) the inspector requires the person to do a thing referred to in
                   subsection (1) or (2); and
               (b) the inspector advises the person that he or she may
                   contravene a civil penalty provision if he or she fails to
                   comply with the requirement; and
               (c) the inspector shows his or her identity card to the person; and
               (d) the person does not comply with the requirement.
               Civil penalty:          60 penalty units.
          (4) Subsection (3) does not apply if the person has a reasonable
