Sorry old chap, if you mentioned this somewhere in this thread, I missed
it. In that case, you are correct and the examiner is well within his
bounds to ask you if you would do something illegal, and if you agree,
you lose.

even when it saves your life?


Most every nation's set of rules has the catchall that goes something like
(US FAR 91.3) "In the case of an emergency the pilot in command may deviate
from any rule in the book that saves his worthless ass."

Obviously the OP said the examiner said "Lets go down low and look at that"
or words to that effect. Absent an emergency, this paragraph is inoperative
and the operative paragraph is the prohibition about flying below 500AGL in
Oz.
