- Summary:
-
Coercive information-gathering powers are important administrative and regulatory devices for government. At the national level in Australia many agencies use them to compel the provision of information, the production of documents and the answering of questions. In this report the Administrative Review Council considers in detail these powers, using as its reference point the powers of six agencies - the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the Australian Taxation Office, Centrelink, and Medicare Australia. These agencies provided to the Council valuable insights into the operation of their coercive information-gathering powers.
