308 Requiring registered migration agents to give information
          (1) The Migration Agents Registration Authority may require a
              registered migration agent:
                (a) to make a statutory declaration in answer to questions in
                    writing by the Authority; or
                (b) to appear before an individual or individuals 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) If a registered migration agent appears before one individual to
              answer questions, that individual must record the questions and
              answers and give the record to the Authority.
        (2A) If a registered migration agent appears before 2 or more individuals
             to answer questions, one of them must record the questions and
             answers and give the record to the Authority.
          (3) A registered migration 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 migration agent
              in any criminal proceedings (except proceedings for an offence










               against section 137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code that relates to
               this Act or the regulations).
