The Federal Court of Australia ruled, in A. v. Boulton (2004) 136 FCR 420, that there is no derivative use immunity in respect of compulsory hearings before the Australian Crime Commission and it therefore appears that members of the police present during ASIO hearings are in a position to use information provided during those hearings in order to further their own investigations.
