The name and address scenario above comes from section 456aa of the Crimes Act 1958 where a Police Officer suspects on reasonable grounds that you have committed an offence and you must provide your name and address.

In Victoria, it's the Road Safety Act, s59(1) that gives certain persons, including police, power to stop a vehicle and require production of licence, and the name and address of the driver.
