Not knowing the laws in Australia it is hard to answer this question. I would think if you have laws against self incrimination you could not be forced to make that kind of statement. Here in the USA we could not be forced to make that kind of statement.
My suggestion is that you check with a Lawyer before making any type of incriminating statement to the police.
