• Summary:The Queensland Law Reform Commission was requested to: Examine the various statutory provisions abrogating the privilege in Queensland. Examine the bases for abrogating the privilege. Recommend whether there is ever justification for the abrogation of the privilege and, if so, in what circumstances and before what type of forum. If there are circumstances and forums where the abrogation may be justified, recommend whether the abrogation be accompanied by both a use and derivative use immunity, especially having regard to the limitations that a derivative use immunity may have on subsequent prosecutions. Recommend whether these immunities should apply to subsequent criminal proceedings only or to all subsequent proceedings (including civil or disciplinary proceedings). If there are circumstances and forums where the abrogation may be justified, recommend an appropriate statutory formula which can be used to rationalise existing provisions and as a model for future provisions.
