The Parliament of South Australia enacts as follows:
1—Short title
This Act may be cited as the National Crime Authority (State Provisions) Act 1984.
2—Commencement
This Act shall come into operation on a day to be fixed by proclamation.
3—Interpretation
	(1)	In this Act, unless the contrary intention appears—
Attorney-General means the Attorney-General of the State;
Commonwealth Act means the National Crime Authority Act 1984 of the Commonwealth;
Commonwealth Minister means the Minister of State of the Commonwealth administering the Commonwealth Act;
hearing means a hearing for the purposes of a special investigation;
Minister means the Minister of the Crown of the State administering this Act;
prescribed means prescribed by this Act or by regulations made under this Act;
Registrar, in relation to a court, means the proper officer, however described, of that court;
special function means a special function referred to in section 5(4);
special investigation means an investigation that the Authority is conducting in the performance of its special functions.
	(2)	Expressions used in this Act that are also used in the Commonwealth Act have in this Act, unless the contrary intention appears, the same respective meanings as those expressions have in the Commonwealth Act.
	(3)	Where the Authority suspects that an offence that is not a relevant offence as defined in section 4(1) of the Commonwealth Act may be directly or indirectly connected with, or may be a part of, a course of activity involving the commission of a relevant offence as so defined, whether or not the Authority has identified the nature of that relevant offence, the first mentioned offence shall, for so long only as the Authority so suspects, be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to be a relevant offence.
4—Act to bind the Crown
This Act binds the Crown in right of the State.
5—Functions under State laws
	(1)	The Minister may, with the approval of the Inter-Governmental Committee, by notice in writing to the Authority, refer a matter relating to a relevant criminal activity to the Authority for investigation insofar as the relevant offence is, or the relevant offences are or include, an offence or offences against a law of the State.
	(2)	Where a matter has been so referred to the Authority, the Authority is not precluded by any law of the State from investigating that matter.
	(3)	A notice referred to in subsection (1) referring a matter to the Authority—
	(a)	shall describe the general nature of the circumstances or allegations constituting the relevant criminal activity; and
	(b)	shall state that the relevant offence is, or the relevant offences are or include, an offence or offences against a law of the State but need not specify the particular offence or offences; and
	(c)	shall set out the purpose of the investigation.
	(3a)	The Minister may, with the approval of the Inter-Governmental Committee—
	(a)	in a notice under subsection (1) referring the matter to the Authority, state that the reference is related to another reference; or
	(b)	in a notice in writing to the Authority, state that a reference already made to the Authority by that Minister is related to another reference.
	(4)	Where a reference to the Authority made by the Minister under subsection (1) is in force in respect of a matter relating to a relevant criminal activity, it is a special function of the Authority to investigate the matter insofar as the relevant offence is, or the relevant offences are or include, an offence or offences against a law of the State.
	(5)	Where a matter has been referred to the Authority in accordance with subsection (1), the Minister may at any time, by notice in writing to the Authority, withdraw the reference.
6—Performance of functions
	(1)	The Authority shall, in performing a special function, assemble any evidence of an offence against a law of the Commonwealth or of a Territory, or of an offence against a law of a State, that it obtains in the course of its investigations, being evidence that would be admissible in the prosecution of a person for that offence, and furnish that evidence to the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth or of the State or to the relevant law enforcement agency or any person or authority (other than a law enforcement agency) who is authorised by or under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State to prosecute the offence.
	(2)	The Authority shall, in performing a special function, co-operate and consult with the Australian Bureau of Criminal Intelligence.
	(3)	Where, as a result of the performance of a special function, the Authority considers that a recommendation should be made to the Minister, to the Commonwealth Minister or to the appropriate Minister of the Crown of another participating State, being a recommendation—
	(a)	for reform of the law relating to relevant offences, including—
	(i)	evidence and procedure applicable to the trials of relevant offences; and
	(ii)	relevant offences in relation to, or involving, corporations; and
	(iii)	taxation, banking and financial frauds; and
	(iv)	reception by Australian courts of evidence obtained in foreign countries as to relevant offences; and
	(v)	maintenance and preservation of taxation, banking and financial records; or
	(b)	for reform of administrative practices; or
	(c)	for reform of administration of the courts in relation to trials of relevant offences,
the Authority may make the recommendation to the Minister, to the Commonwealth Minister or to that Minister of the Crown of that other participating State, as the case may be.
	(4)	In relation to the performance by the Authority of a special function, nothing in this Act (other than section 17)—
	(a)	shall be taken to confer on a member, or on a member of the staff of the Authority (other than a member of the Australian Federal Police or a member of the police force of a State), a power to interview a person in relation to an offence that the person is suspected of having committed, except in a case where the person has been served, as prescribed, with a summons to appear as a witness at a hearing before the Authority and has not yet so appeared; or
	(b)	shall be taken to confer on a member of the staff of the Authority who is a member of the Australian Federal Police or of the police force of a State a power to interview a person that the member of the staff of the Authority does not have in the member's capacity as a member of the Australian Federal Police or of the police force of that State, as the case may be.
	(5)	Nothing in subsection (4)(a) shall be taken to affect a power of a member, or of a member of the staff of the Authority, to interview a person otherwise than in relation to an offence that the person is suspected of having committed.
	(6)	Where the Authority has obtained particular information or intelligence in the course of performing a special function, nothing in this Act shall be taken to prevent the Authority from making use of the information or intelligence in the performance of any of its other functions.
7—Members may have concurrent functions and powers under laws of the State
If—
	(a)	with the consent of the Inter-Governmental Committee, any functions or powers in relation to the investigation of matters relating to relevant criminal activities are conferred on a member or members by the Governor or a Minister; and
	(b)	the Commonwealth Minister informs the member or members in writing that the Commonwealth Minister is satisfied that those functions or powers may conveniently be performed or exercised in conjunction with the performance or exercise by the Authority of its functions or powers under the Commonwealth Act,
then, notwithstanding anything contained in any other provision of this Act, the member or members referred to in paragraph (a) shall perform the functions, or may exercise the powers, referred to in that paragraph in conjunction with the performance or exercise by the Authority of its functions or powers under the Commonwealth Act, this Act or any corresponding Act of another State, and the members of the staff of the Authority may be employed by the Authority in assisting the member or members referred to in paragraph (a) in the performance of the functions or the exercise of the powers referred to in that paragraph.
8—Limitation on challenges to validity of references
Where, with the approval of the Inter-Governmental Committee, the Minister refers a matter to the Authority for investigation, then, except in a proceeding instituted by the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth or the Attorney-General of a State, any act or thing done by the Authority in pursuance of the reference shall not be challenged, reviewed, quashed or called in question in any court of the State on the ground that any necessary approval of the Inter-Governmental Committee or consent of the Commonwealth Minister has not been obtained or was not lawfully given.
9—Co-operation with law enforcement agencies
	(1)	In performing its special functions, the Authority shall, so far as is practicable, work in co-operation with law enforcement agencies.
	(2)	In performing its special functions, the Authority may co-ordinate its activities with the activities of authorities and persons in other countries performing functions similar to the functions of the Authority.
10—Incidental powers of Authority
The Authority has power to do all things necessary to be done for or in connection with, or reasonably incidental to, the performance of its special functions, and any specific powers conferred on the Authority by this Act shall not be taken to limit by implication the generality of this section.
11—Arrangements for Authority to obtain information or intelligence
The Minister may make an arrangement with the Commonwealth Minister for the Authority to be given by the State, or by an authority of the State, information or intelligence relating to relevant criminal activities.
12—Search warrant
	(1)	A member may apply to a Judge of a prescribed court for the issue of a warrant under subsection (2) if—
	(a)	the member has reasonable grounds for suspecting that, on a particular day (in this section referred to as the relevant day), being the day on which, or a particular day within one month after the day on which, the application is made, there may be, upon any land or upon or in any premises, vessel, aircraft or vehicle, a thing or things of a particular kind connected with a matter relating to a relevant criminal activity, being a matter into which the Authority is conducting a special investigation (in this section referred to as things of the relevant kind); and
	(b)	the member believes on reasonable grounds that, if a summons were issued for the production of the thing or things, the thing or things might be concealed, lost, mutilated or destroyed.
	(2)	Where an application under subsection (1) is made to a Judge of a prescribed court, the Judge may issue a warrant authorising a member of the Australian Federal Police or of the police force of a State, or any other person, named in the warrant, with such assistance as the member or person thinks necessary and if necessary by force—
	(a)	to enter upon the land or upon or into the premises, vessel, aircraft or vehicle; and
	(b)	to search the land, premises, vessel, aircraft or vehicle for things of the relevant kind; and
	(c)	to seize any things of the relevant kind found upon the land or upon or in the premises, vessel, aircraft or vehicle and deliver things so seized to the Authority.
	(3)	A Judge shall not issue a warrant under subsection (2) unless—
	(a)	an affidavit has been furnished to the Judge setting out the grounds on which the issue of the warrant is being sought; and
	(b)	the applicant (or some other person) has given to the Judge, either orally or by affidavit, such further information (if any) as the Judge requires concerning the grounds on which the issue of the warrant is being sought; and
	(c)	the Judge is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for issuing the warrant.
	(4)	Where a Judge issues a warrant under subsection (2), the Judge shall state on the affidavit furnished as mentioned in subsection (3)(a) which of the grounds specified in that affidavit has or have been relied on to justify the issue of the warrant and particulars of any other grounds relied on to justify the issue of the warrant.
	(5)	A warrant issued under this section shall—
	(a)	include a statement of the purpose for which the warrant is issued, which shall include a reference to the matter relating to a relevant criminal activity into which the Authority is conducting a special investigation and with which the things of the relevant kind are connected; and
	(b)	state whether entry is authorised to be made at any time of the day or night or during specified hours of the day or night; and
	(c)	include a description of the kind of things authorised to be seized; and
	(d)	specify a date, not being later than one month after the date of issue of the warrant, upon which the warrant ceases to have effect.
	(6)	A warrant issued under this section may be executed, in accordance with its terms, at any time during the period commencing on the relevant day and ending on the date specified in the warrant as the date upon which the warrant ceases to have effect.
	(7)	Where, in the course of searching, in accordance with the terms of a warrant issued under this section, for things of the relevant kind, the person executing the warrant finds a thing that the person believes on reasonable grounds to be evidence that would be admissible in the prosecution of a person for an offence against a law of the Commonwealth, of a State or of a Territory, and the first mentioned person believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to seize the thing in order to prevent its concealment, loss, mutilation or destruction, or its use in committing such an offence, that person may seize the thing and, if the thing is so seized, it shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to have been seized pursuant to the warrant.
	(8)	Where a thing is seized pursuant to a warrant issued under this section—
	(a)	the Authority may retain the thing if, and for so long as, retention of the thing by the Authority is reasonably necessary for the purposes of a special investigation to which the thing is relevant; and
	(b)	if the retention of the thing by the Authority is not, or ceases to be, reasonably necessary for such purposes, the member must cause the thing to be delivered to—
	(i)	if the thing may be used in evidence in proceedings of a kind referred to in subsection (13)—the Authority or person responsible for taking the proceedings; or
	(ii)	if subparagraph (i) does not apply—the person who appears to the member to be entitled to the possession of the thing,
unless the Authority has furnished the thing to the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth or of a State, or to a law enforcement agency, in accordance with the Commonwealth Act, this Act or an Act of another State.
	(9)	A member may, instead of delivering a thing in accordance with subsection (8)(b)(ii), deliver the thing to the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth or of a State, or to a law enforcement agency, for the purpose of assisting in the investigation of criminal offences, where the member is satisfied that the thing is likely to be useful for that purpose.
	(10)	Nothing in this section affects a right of a person to apply for, or the power of a person to issue, a warrant, being a right or power existing otherwise than by virtue of this section.
	(11)	A reference in this section to a Judge of a prescribed court shall be construed as a reference to—
	(b)	a Judge of a court of the State.
	(12)	In this section—
thing includes a document.
	(13)	Without limiting the generality of subsection (1)(a), a reference in this section to a thing connected with a matter relating to a relevant criminal activity, being a matter into which the Authority is conducting a special investigation, includes a reference to a thing that may be used in evidence in proceedings for the taking, by or on behalf of the Crown in right of the State, of civil remedies in respect of a matter connected with, or arising out of, an offence to which the relevant criminal activity relates.
13—Application by telephone for search warrants
	(1)	Where, by reason of circumstances of urgency, a member considers it necessary to do so, the member may make application by telephone for a warrant under section 12.
	(2)	Before so making application, the member shall prepare an affidavit that sets out the grounds on which the issue of the warrant is being sought, but may, if it is necessary to do so, make the application before the affidavit has been sworn.
	(3)	Where a Judge issues a warrant under section 12 upon an application made by telephone, the Judge shall—
	(a)	complete and sign the warrant; and
	(b)	inform the member who made the application of the terms of the warrant and the date on which and the time at which it was signed; and
	(c)	record on the warrant the reasons for issuing the warrant; and
	(d)	send a copy of the warrant to the Authority.
	(4)	Where a warrant is issued under section 12 upon an application made by telephone, a member of the staff of the Authority or a member of the Australian Federal Police or of the police force of a State may complete a form of warrant in the terms indicated by the Judge under subsection (3) and, where a form of warrant is so completed, shall write on it the name of the Judge who issued the warrant and the date on which and the time at which it was signed.
	(5)	Where a person completes a form of warrant in accordance with subsection (4), the person shall, not later than the day next following the date of expiry of the warrant, send to the Judge who signed the warrant the form of warrant completed by the person and the affidavit duly sworn in connection with the warrant.
	(6)	Upon receipt of the documents referred to in subsection (5), the Judge shall attach them to the warrant signed by the Judge and shall deal with the documents in the manner in which the Judge would have dealt with the affidavit if the application for the warrant had been made to the Judge in accordance with section 12.
	(7)	A form of warrant duly completed in accordance with subsection (4) shall be deemed to be a warrant issued under section 12.

	(3)	A summons under subsection (1) requiring a person to appear before the Authority at a hearing shall, unless the member issuing the summons is satisfied that, in the particular circumstances of a special investigation to which the hearing relates, it would prejudice the effectiveness of the special investigation for the summons to do so, set out, so far as is reasonably practicable, the general nature of the matters in relation to which the Authority intends to question the person, but nothing in this subsection prevents the Authority from questioning the person in relation to any matter that relates to a special investigation.

	(3)	A person shall not, without reasonable excuse, refuse or fail to comply with a notice served on the person under this section.
Penalty: One thousand dollars or imprisonment for six months.
	(4)	Subsections (3) to (12) (inclusive) of section 19 apply in relation to a person who is required to produce a document or thing by a notice served on the person under this section in the same manner as they apply in relation to a person who is required to produce a document or thing at a hearing before the Authority, and so apply as if a reference in those subsections to subsection (2) of that section were a reference to subsection (3) of this section.
	(5)	If a person who is required to produce a document or thing by a notice served on the person under this section claims to the person (in this subsection referred to as the relevant person) to whom the claimant is required to produce it that the claimant is entitled to refuse to produce the document or thing, the relevant person shall—
