59 Offence to contravene document certification requirement
(1) A person of whom a document certification requirement has been made must
comply with the requirement unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
Penalty— Maximum penalty—200 penalty units.

reasonable excuse for a person to fail to comply with a document certification

incriminate the person or expose the person to a penalty. Note— See,
however, section 71 .
(3) The inspector must inform the person, in a way
that is reasonable in the circumstances— (a) that the person must comply
with the document certification requirement even though complying might tend
to incriminate the person or expose the person to a penalty; and
(b) that,
under section 71 , there is a limited immunity against the future use of the
information or document given in compliance with the requirement.
(4) If the
person fails to comply with the document certification requirement when the
inspector has failed to comply with subsection (3) , the person can not be
convicted of the offence against subsection (1) .
