This legislation has been repealed.
If it appears to a member that, by reason of the fact that a person—
(a) is to appear, is appearing or has appeared at a hearing before the authority to give evidence or to produce a document or thing; or
(b) proposes to produce or has produced a document or thing to the authority under this Act otherwise than at a hearing before the authority;
the safety of the person may be prejudiced or the person may be subjected to intimidation or harassment, the member may make such arrangements (including arrangements with the Minister or with members of the Australian Federal Police) as are necessary to avoid prejudice to the safety of the person, or to protect the person from intimidation or harassment.
