CUSTOMS ACT 1901 - SECT 195A

Power to question persons found in restricted areas

    If a person is in a section   234AA place, an officer may ask the person for, and require the person to provide:

  (a)   the person's name; and

  (b)   the person's reason for being in the section   234AA place; and

  (c)   evidence of the person's identity.

Note:   Failing to answer a question or produce a document when required to do so by an officer may be an offence (see sections   243SA and 243SB). However, a person does not have to answer if doing so would tend to incriminate the person (see section   243SC).
