101. Page 209, line 31, Schedule 4, proposed section 60J, add the following subsection:
"(2) The fact that answering a question or producing a document pursuant to a requirement under paragraph (1)(b) or (c), as the case may be, may tend to incriminate the person who is subject to such a requirement shall be taken to be a reasonable excuse on the part of that person for the purpose of subsection (1).".
Amendment No. 91 is a result of a changed approach to the drafting of related provisions by the Commonwealth, so it is pretty much a technical matter. The majority of the amendments relate to the Scrutiny of Bills Committee's examination of the legislation. Amendments Nos 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97 and 98 are related to modifications to the Merit Protection (Australian Government Employees) Act, to ensure that the Commonwealth merit protection provisions apply to Territory employees as well.
