BIOSECURITY ACT 2015 - SECT 567

Inspector - General may review administration of provisions

  (1)   The Inspector - General may review the performance of functions, or exercise of powers, by biosecurity officials under one or more provisions of this Act.

Note:   A review under this section is different from a review of a reviewable decision under Part   1 of Chapter   11.

  (2)   Subsection   (1) does not permit the Inspector - General to review only a single performance of a function, or a single exercise of a power, by a single biosecurity official.

Note:   A review under this section must be more general.

Report on review

  (3)   The Inspector - General must publish a report on each review he or she conducts under this section.

Regulations may deal with reviews and reports

  (4)   The regulations may make provision for or in relation to:

  (a)   the process to be followed in conducting a review under this section; and

  (b)   the content of reports of reviews conducted under this section.
