sec.28 Power to require documents to be produced
An inspector may require a person the inspector reasonably believes is a private employment agent to produce for inspection, at a reasonable time and place nominated by the inspector, a stated document relating to the business of the private employment agent. The person must produce the document, unless the person has a reasonable excuse. Maximum penalty—14 penalty units. It is a reasonable excuse for an individual to fail to comply with the requirement if doing so might tend to incriminate the individual. The inspector may keep the document to copy it. If the inspector copies a document produced by a person to the inspector, the inspector may require the person to certify the copy as a true copy of the document. The person must certify the copy, unless the person has a reasonable excuse. Maximum penalty—14 penalty units. The inspector must return the document to the person as soon as practicable after copying it.
